I love being able to turn my hand to a variety of artistic practices; I feel that this makes me able to fulfil both my own and potential clients various creative visions in new, innovative, and exciting ways.
As a lesbian, I’m passionate about inclusion and diversity within art; I feel that everyone has the right to see a positive and beautiful reflection of themselves in media. If you’re also passionate about this, I would love to work with you!
