Life so Far

It's been quite a hectic few years, but I have returned with updates:

  • I graduated The BRIT School in 2025 and had applied to a few Universities:

    (First to Last choice)

    - Escape Studios: MaArt The Art of Video Games

    - Ravensbourne University London: Games Art

    - Kingston University: 3D Design Innovation

    - Goldsmiths University of London: English with Creative Writing

    - University of the Arts London: Architecture

I managed to graduate with a Distinction which means I got into my first choice (Escape Studios) which I am still excited about!

  • I am studying Video Game Art, but may have the opportunity to switch degrees next year, and I'm looking more into the VFX route as it looks really cool. I know I want to do something with 3D/Texturing as it's something I really enjoy.

  • I want 2026 to be as good a year as I can make it. I am currently struggling with my anxiety and depression, but am charging head on into opportunities and am trying to approach as many things as possible with a positive attitude.

    - With this in mind, I have managed to succesfully complete two escape rooms this year, gone to a party, attended some webinars and am trying to be more creative. I struggle with commuting to places as it gives me a LOT of anxiety, but so far this year I have taken a train, a tube and a cab by myself and I am very proud of myself for that.

    - I also aspire to be kinder to myself this year. I am quite hard on myself, especially when it comes to my mental health and asking for help, so I'm trying to communicate better with myself and learn how to understand myself more.


That's all for now (:

Be kind to yourselves and don't be scared to be yourself! (:
