PRINT:

I specialised in print at Northumbria University, mainly focusing on woodcut & lino relief prints. After graduating, I quickly got involved in screenprinting, learning from suppliers, eventually buying my own equipment and printing from a 1-bedroom flat to owning industrial auto-machines—producing thousands of products weekly. Alongside screenprinting, I used various methods and embraced new processes, especially direct-to-garment (DTG) printing. We bought our first DTG machine in 2017 during Bearhug's growth, which allowed us to offer a wider product range with less stock and waste. I’ve always sold prints using giclee, relief, riso, and screenprinting, which remain the foundation of my creative career.
