It's a summer of love

About Me

I'm a great lover of all things Graphic Design. I'm a full-time Graphic Design student, studying at Middlesex University. My first love is drawing and i spend some of my time drawing portraits, of no one in particular, just anyone that interests me. Drawing also helps me when i'm in need of some well earned relaxing. I have a growing passion for photography, and i like capturing people in different states of emotions (Inspired by Sam Taylor Wood) I am fond of Retro and Vintage things. I'm a sucker for anything with skull and crossbones, Polka dots, Stripes, and Cherries on..especially certain types of clothing. I love plastic jewellery, Pearls, Beads, Rings, Earrings.. especially in Red. I adore the sound of rain hitting the window, especially when it's bedtime. I love sitting on Primrose Hill on a sunny day, reflecting, creating, finding inspiration and just thinking about random things the day has brought me, good and bad. I am intrigued by Pirates or anything about pirates. I have a love for film..I'm an avid cinema goer and love to see horror flicks with my sister on a sunday afternoon. Watching bands play. Staying in with a few dvds with the company of some friends..or equally i don't mind watching them alone. Music in general is really important in my life, couldn't live without it! I also play the guitar sometimes, really badly!
