After graduating with a Masters in Vehicle Design from London’s Royal College of Art in 2010, I began my professional creative career moving to Munich, and going on to work as an Exterior Designer for Rolls-Royce and MINI. Contributing to projects such as Mini Coupe, Countryman and leading the early work on Cullinan and Phantom.

After an exciting period living in Munich, my earliest love of craftsmanship and the world of historic cars drew me back to the UK as a director of a world renowned classic car restoration firm. I went on to lead, and develop diverse projects that achieved accolades including a class win at celebrated Pebble Beach Concours in California.

During this time, looking after one of the world’s great collections allowed the privilege to drive and experience many automotive icons from the great Pre-War leviathans through to Le-Mans winning race cars.

It’s fair to say that my earliest memories involve old cars, motorcycles and racing. From my Grandfathers Bugatti’s and Bentley’s to my Fathers love of Pre-War Talbot.

However, there is a twist. As well as third generation petrolhead, I’m also (on my Mums side) a third generation artist and designer.

Now based in my Wimbledon studio, I return to my first love as a child of painting objects (usually cars), and sculpture.

As an ‘Automotive Artist’ with a firm exterior design training and professional background, I try to bring a hint of analogue style ‘Design Studio’ illustration to my work. I use a mix of watercolour, ink and chalks. Complimenting my art & design background is the highly focused attention to detail I gained through my years of leading restoration work.

I’m also working on a series of digitally created automotive sculptures, drawing upon many years of sketch modelling in CAD. Before, outputting the data via CNC and 3D printing.

When not drawing and painting cars, I can sometimes be found in gallery or playing guitar and piano. But usually, it’s still cars…. Be it taking part in historic racing, working on a flowbench attempting to make things go faster, or enjoying the freedom of a good roadtrip in something interesting.

To me, great vehicles are art in motion. Even the most seemingly mundane of vehicles have often been cared about by the people behind them. Some really do blend art with design, often placing form before function. And the best ones…… tell a story that means something to its owner!

I hope my creative output conveys a lifetime of inspiration!
