Summary
Final work

I am an Illustration Pathway student with a focus on character design in a monster style—often humanising objects and concepts into unique creatures. I run an Instagram account dedicated to my ‘Special Species Village’ project, which I plan to continue expanding. Next year, I will be studying BA Illustration at Camberwell College of Arts.

Stamp & Spawn is a playful project that uses rubber stamps to let anyone create their own monster. Inspired by the challenge of visualizing creatures from zero, I designed stampable body parts to make the process fun and accessible. The project includes rubber stamp print booklets, a reimagined educational aid, clay models, and a photo zine featuring identity-style portraits of the stamped creatures.
