Music

founder & vice-president · st hugh's music society · lead guitar

I’ve been playing guitar since I was 13, and it’s still my favorite way to unwind. My biggest influences include the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Steve Vai, Tom Misch, and Avenged Sevenfold. At Oxford, I’ve played in the student bands The Deadlines and Mango Sorbet, performing at college balls and other university events.

Art

polymer clay · drawing · painting

I enjoy drawing and sculpting miniature charms from oven-bake polymer clay. I like the challenge of working at a tiny scale, where every detail matters and patience is part of the process.
