Once I decided to shave my head rather than to have a receding hairline, I just looked in the mirror and thought why couldn’t I use my head as a canvas for creativity.

/Where can we expect to witness your work at large?

I will be hosting my Headism show supported by Gillette from May 3^rd – May 9^th at The NL Gallery, 40/42 Riding House Street, London, W1W 7ET. I will showcase my best head designs at an exhibition in London through photography by Daniel Regan, documentary, a doll by HarlotVonCharlot and bespoke headcasts.

I would also love to create my own head wear range and put a bespoke design on someone like Kanye West or Lady Gaga in the future.
