Introduction: I have just completed my BA Hons

Design Crafts degree at Swansea College of Art,

University of Wales Trinity Saint David. I work in a

range of materials - found objects, natural forms,

cardboard, fabrics, paper, plastic, and more traditional

craft media such as glass. My creative process often

starts with collecting objects, and I am very much

inspired by creatures of all sorts, both in nature and

invented. I am intrigued by the art of puppet-making

and mechanical movement, and hope to follow a

career in puppetry.
