“Be humble because you are made of earth. Be noble, for you are made of stars”

— {Serbian proverb}

A quote from one of my favourite books, The Comfort Book, Matt Haig. As a creative I have always maintained an ethos of being humble and honest. I love being highly creative and always striving to push the work I do, but lets face no one likes a dick! I am a huge advocate of promoting awareness of mental ill health, feeling it’s a huge issue within the creative industry, our job is constantly putting yourself out there for criticism so it’s important to know how to deal with it.

Currently working as a Senior Creative for one of the biggest online fashion retail brands in the world. With over 10 years experience spanning my current role, freelance design and self initiated design led projects.

As a creative I look for, and take inspiration from all areas of my life, wether that be a perfectly chilled white Rioja or watching Queen at Live Aid for the 99th 100th time.

Being creative to me isn’t something you learn or do for a living, it’s life.
