Q.Have you always been interested in Design? Yes, I have always seen myself as a designer, when I was young I was always painting people, but it was the clothes that I was really interested in. I then went on to study art and design in Colchester.
Q.Do you have any influences? Not really, I like the Patrick Caulfield the artist, for he graphic, strong lines and detail. His pieces are amazing and they are all done by hand. In contrast, the work of Andy Goldsworthy, who uses natural forms to create beautiful pieces of art.
