About Me

I’m from England, but I live in South Korea. In my spare time, I sometimes do freelance
graphic design and printmaking work. I like traditional printmaking processes, such as silkscreen printing and letterpress. I study Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and like to skateboard. I keep to a vegan diet, which is probably worth mentioning, if we’re going to spend time together.
