♥Design & Creativity♥
At every stage of my educational career I have studied design. I graduated from University with a degree in Graphic design and communication. From then I have continued to be creative and also begun teaching design.
I love so many aspects of design and fully believe that inspiration can be found in everything.
I am totally in awe of great architecture and could study it all day; however my favourite type has to be very old buildings. I get totally carried away with imagining what it would have been like when they were originally in use and with the romance of how we use these period timepieces in a modern way when 100 years ago they could have been a cow shed or something! If I could restore all of the beautiful, old, derelict buildings I would.
Photography and film are another passion of mine, capturing moments in a still frame, can be amazing. With photography I always try to capture the mood of a moment and create a visual time machine, which transports the viewer back to the moment it was taken, and allows them to feel as though they had been there.
Most times I have so many influences that it is not a matter of running out of ideas, its a matter of what to do with them or selecting which one is right for a brief or target audience.
♥Fashion♥
This is almost a total full circle for me, I began by wanting to be a fashion designer, always experimenting with fabrics and watching my mother sew on her 'Singer' sewing machine. Then whilst at college I began looking more at 3D design but with a continued interest in design and fashion, always following the Clothes Show and collecting magazines galore!
I had a year out and from then I continued with graphic design and communication. By then end of university my passion for fashion had not disappeared in fact it had soared.
So here I am now! My sister and I are both Christians and ahead of our love for design comes a Love for Jesus.
Ok, so this section can be a bit specific... So I say everyone come along, bring your style, bring your personality and I'll bring the fudge! (Random I know, but what else is there to write here!?)

Well, this is just too broard. But I love bass, and Salsa (the movement in the music just makes you want to dance and I luv dancing!)
