I am a freelance 2D + 3D artist and designer with an expertise in concept design, game asset creation and digital marketing content creation! Working on game jams has also lent me experience in art direction and UI/2D sprite asset creation.
I am looking to work with all kinds of opportunities in the gaming and creative industries, whether it be project-based, interim or pro-bono - assisting teams whether it be working in a studio or outsourcing assets remotely.

My qualities revolve around versatility and adaptability, collaborating on tasks with a team through the approach of an industrious, intuitive and pragmatic mindset. Simultaneously, I can work independently with little or no oversight as I maintain a strong work ethic. My previous and continuing experience in a fast-paced marketing environment has also equipped me with vital transferrable skills.

Other Interests
Ancient history, mythology and esotericism are particular interests of mine. I mostly listen to electronic/ambient music during my work and study sessions, otherwise video essays. You will find me sketching at local cafes and in the Ilkley Moors.
I come from a family of avid dog lovers, as well as being an animal lover in general. Not only am I an active runner, but have also finished half-marathons and taken frequently part in park runs, raising money for local charities.
