She said: “On Monday 8^th April, I was involved with a photoshoot for a Paul Smith book and was one of twelve people to be selected, who shared Paul Smith’s name. The other people were from various professional backgrounds including a photographer, street artist, vicar, strong man, taxi driver, student, teacher, personal trainer etc. 

"The book also promoted some of my own design work; this is what I do when I am not in school. The book was launched in Dover Street Market, Haymarket London as part of the PhotoLondon 2019 event.”
