“Goonie” Book Cover Little, Brown Books03–03–2025
Based off of the poem by Michael Mullen, I wanted to capture identity and belonging. 

Using mainly hand crafted processes, this kept a sense of playfulness and innocence that was reflected in the poem.

I loved how expressive and free I could be during the process. Adding different textures and layers made me love the outcome.

Editorial for ScreenFinal Outcome25–03–2025
Produced from four articles:

‘The Scandal-Hit US Health Insurance Company Deeply Embedded in the NHS’. (top left)

‘PFAS: you can’t smell, see or taste these chemicals, but they
are everywhere – and they’re highly toxic to humans’. (top right)

‘From Andrew Tate to Jordan Peterson, a phoney zero-sum-
game argument sits at the heart of anti-feminist backlash’. (bottom right)

In defence of the 1970s, the ‘decade that taste forgot’. (bottom left)

A combination of digital and hand-made. 








Liverpool on FilmSelf-Directed Project12–12–2024
 
I printed my book on Fabriano, 90 g/m paper with 32 pages of drawings. Tetra Pak printing for Dust jacket. 

Capturing people going about their day-to-day lives in Liverpool city centre. The drawings get busier and louder as the pages turn. 

To show a journey and a progression, I knew that a publication would show this the best.

Adaptation of Editorial work. Screen printed. 

PrintmakingDigital and Screen Printing14–11–2024
Combining digital with hand drawn elements to create an interesting and collage style print.

Working on white paper to ensure a contrast between the background and the print with bold and sketchy textures. The screen print is a combination of block colour (pink) and a sketch I had before (blue). 

When screen printing, I am fascinated by the imperfect. I prefer every print to be slightly different.

For this work, I made an edition of 5.
