Past

After moving to Chester from Hamburg in 1999, I attained a Distinction in a Btec National Diploma in General Art and Design from West Cheshire College. I was also the beneficiary of an award from the Freemen and Guilds of the City of Chester for outstanding work. In 2004 I graduated with a BA (Hons) in General Illustration from the North East Wales Institute of Higher Education.

Present

Currently I work as a freelance designer and illustrator based in Manchester and have worked on a variety of briefs from marketing and literary illustrations to audio CD cover designs. A sample of the work I have produced through both education and employment can be found in the artwork pages.

I am also a keen musician in my spare time, and have been working on a series of atmospheric music albums, the first album of which is now finished. Samples and purchase details can be found on the music page.

Future

I have no plans to leave the design and illustration business, I enjoy it so much, and I continue to accept commissions for illustration and design work. It was an ambitious idea to create a series of music albums, and despite the first having been completed, there is a long way left to go. I have also been writing an adventure novel in spare time.
