I studied fashion-textiles at Manchester Metro Uni as I thought Illustration was too touch and go for a career, later discovering the error of my ways but scraping through anyway to get a degree. Not content to work in the consumer industry (read shop assistant!) for the rest of my days I enrolled in teacher training college in London. 1 year and many grey hairs later I qualified and began a short lived career in teaching design & technology, constantly adapting until all I would teach was Graphics. This is when my love affair with photoshop began, finally there was something that even us plebs could use to produce print quality designs. Suffice to say I have since left teaching & now I am here like a blank slate, just waiting to be scribbled on!
