Hello
I am an illustrator, animator and ceramic artist working in Bath. I’m also a 3 time Paralympian, having competed in London 2012, Rio 2016 and Tokyo 2021 in the 100m and 200m sprint events. Existing in both the creative and sport industries has given me a great balance of inventive, thoughtful work, as well as the high pressure and intensity involved in training and competing. Being a disabled athlete has given me many opportunities as well as shown me a world of ableism, inequality and a lack of disability representation in the media, which I try to highlight and dismantle in my work as a freelance illustrator and animator.
I received a first class degree from Kingston School of art in Illustration Animation in 2019. Since graduating I have animated for Channel 4, UK Coaching, GB Rowing and illustrated for the BBC, Bupa Dental and DDPTV (Deaf and Disabled People in TV).
