What have you been getting up to since you graduated?
After graduating I worked part-time while building up my studio practice and self-promoting my illustration and artwork. I have now been working as a full-time artist for just over seven years, primarily focusing on hand-drawn artwork on canvas and murals. I have produced work for brands including Graham & Brown Wallpaper (wallpaper designs), Ten Skateboards (skate decks), Monster Energy (hand painted murals) and The Hemp Trading Company (clothing designs).
How did university prepare you for your career?
The course taught me to experiment in a wide variety of styles, think wide, and learn digital and handmade skills.
Favourite Solent memory?

What's a typical day for you?
I produce around 200 original works of art a year, which I sell via representing galleries in France, Belgium, the Netherlands, the UK, and online. Some of these artworks then go on to be licensed for products or print designs.
What is graphic design to you?
Graphic design/graphic art gives me the opportunity to express myself creatively for a living.
What tips would you give to someone wanting a career in this area?
Work as hard outside the course as you do on it. Set yourself creative briefs when you haven’t got projects coming in.
