Paint by numbers:

This was a birthday gift that I made for someone as I have a real fascination with paint by numbers. But extreme versions. These types of paint by numbers have upwards of 30 numbers, so are quite a challenge. I also mixed up the paint samples to be given with the gift.

This is a current passion project that I'm working on. I have combined my two biggest loves, graphic design and shoes (but more specifically the classic Air Force 1's). Over the past few years custom shoes have become a sought after item, and the Air Force 1's seem to be the best shoe canvas to work on. I wanted to research more into the history of graphic design and the different trends that appear and reappear at later dates. I wanted to combine this exploration with my love of shoes. 

 

The Air Force 1's were released in 1986 and have been a popular shoe around the world ever since. I am currently creating 34 different designs/prints on the shoes which highlight the biggest graphic design trend of that year. One day (hopefully on the 50th anniversary) I would love to create these designs physically and auction them in a gallery to commemorate the 50th anniversary. This will only happen if I get rich though, as by then (2036) I would have to create 50 pairs of shoes, which would price me at £4000 just to buy that amount of the white on white pairs.

I would describe myself as a bold, honest and straightforward person, and this always translates into my work. I love creating things that have a purpose and are for the greater good, my top advertising aspiration would be to make it into a 'Goodvertising' book.
 
I feel like I'm an all round creative person and love digging into new projects, I'm definitely a side hustle kind of gal. I'm currently working on a project where I explore the annual graphic design trends of the past 34 years. I'm aiming to show this by creating designs for the Nike Air Force 1 trainers as they were created in 1986 and are one of the most popular Nike trainers (and my faves).
​
I come from a family of creatives, my mum makes handmade cards and my older sister is successful in the graphic design industry. This is great as it means I'm always pushed to put creativity above everything else.
