Deal With An Angel

"Deal With An Angel”, my small business project focusing on storytelling stationary. Including 4 characters, each with their own stories and personalised stationary designs for each product. My main products were different themed pages based on each characters backstory, with each page being double sided, with the back being simpler for optional use. Other products such as blank labels, badges and weekday labels. This was a month long project that reached a market deadline.

UAL Character Design Course - Crocky Balboa

During this month long course I developed Crocky, a boxing crocodile set in a 2D, side-scroller fighting game like “Street-Fighter”.


Tattoo Design

As an aspiring tattoo artist, my largest interest stems in the American tradition style (though I do have more variety of work on my tattoo portfolio Instagram). I am currently looking for an Apprenticeship in London.Find more work on my Tattoo Portfolio
