Where did you begin?

Ive been drawing since I could hold a marker, its was always my favourite thing as a child, Disney characters was all I drew.

Once I was old enough to appreciate fashion I started to combine drawing and fashion together and fashion illustrations became my full time hobby

You are a fashion illustrator, 2D artist, animator and concept artist to name but a few of your many talents! Did you study all of these aspects of art in one course, or did you attend and complete a number of different colleges and courses or are you self taught?

It was only in my mid-twenties I studied art in college, I had gone through jobs and jobs which I loved but always came home to the sketchpad.

So I decided one day to start a course in Game Development and animation in Pulse college, after the 1st year I was pulled to work with an Irish start up where I was lead animator for 3 years.

I absolutely loved this and it was great experience but I would still come home and do the fashion illustrations this is where my heart was.

I self taught myself in the fashion illustration, it was last year when doing the illustrations for Suzanne Jacksons 2nd book I decided to set up social media platforms and it escalated from there.

What is the aspect of your broad range of skills you most identify with?

Definitely Fashion Illustration, I am doing this almost full time now & love it

You have been recognised by so many high profile women, including Kylie Jenner, her sisters and So Sue Me Jackson, it was actually through So sue me’s instagram that I discovered your Instagram page and I have followed you on everything, facebook twitter instagram you name it! With your busy lifestyle where do you find the time to draw?

Who is your favourite designer at the moment?

There are so many but I would have to say Olivier Rousteing, Im just in awe of his collections, & im so excited to check out H&M Balmain

Where do you hope to be in the next ten years?

I would love to have a weekly or monthly segment in magazines or newpapers, Vogue would be ideal, Im not that fussy ;)
