About Me
From a young age I discovered the act of making things — whether that’d be hand-drawn books of interesting street lights and buildings, to making slot machines out of recycled cardboard boxes, to holding my own discos with close family where I would design the programmes, popcorn bags, tickets - and choreograph the lights, music and smoke machine. As I got older, my attention turned to the world of computers and technology. In my early teenage years, I ran a decently-sized news and media website centred around The Sims franchise, as well as make lots of machinima movies using The Sims 2. In my mid-teen years I discovered the world of photography and took an interest in capturing nature and landscape photos in particular, then editing these photos in a variety of subtle and major ways.
In 2018 I was diagnosed with a rare genetic condition that up-ended a lot of what I thought I knew about life. Through that tumultuous time I found that focussing on my creative voice and continuing to move forward – alongside support from close family members - helped me to remain centred on what matters most in life.
These projects are my heart and soul. I hope you enjoy looking through them…
