EDUCATION
2023
Chocolatbox
I took part in a contest to design 3 chocolate box designs and flavours for the client Chocolatbox in Paisley for my HNC Graphic Design and Illustration course.
2022
St. Patrick's Primary School
A member of staff at St. Patrick's Primary school got in touch and asked me to design three clover characters that represented their values based off of three of the children’s designs. For this I followed a brief and kept in contact, updating them through the process.
2017-2018
Conventions
After school I started to gain an interest in selling art at conventions. I found this a good way to get experience in terms of communicating with potential customers and to ask and see what entices people first hand. I have sold at Big Glasgow Comic Con and Rai Con events.
