I am an artist, art director and illustrator based in London, UK.

I love working with mixed media and combining traditional and digital techniques. My approach 
is methodical and thoughtful, and I pay thorough attention to the design of forms and details. 
My visual techniques are flexible and are tailored to the needs of the brief. 

Some of my favorite themes are everyday objects, the world around (and inside of) people, food, music, fashion, interior design, beauty, nature and portraits.
