“a delight to have in class” and “a charismatic figure” were blanket statements given by my small town teachers to cover up what they actually meant : “this kid is definitely queer, he is constantly talking but even his corner-page doodles are impressive”.

and they were right.

After receiving a First Class Bachelor of Arts in Fashion Styling and creative direction from Solent University, I moved to Bristol to reclaim my spark that got lost during the dark days of 2020/2021. Turns out doing a creative degree during a global pandemic is really hard, especially when you require studios and in-person communication to create the best work you can. Anyways it seems I pulled through and found I’m actually a great problem solver, most likely due to my childhood heavily focusing on the importance of playing dress-up.

Moving to Bristol has allowed me to fall in love with a variety of subcultures and immerse myself in their creative expressions. Exposure to queer events, the south-west music scene and city street style has injected new life to my creative brain.
