As an illustrator, I am drawn to stories of human connection and to the natural world around us. My multidisciplinary practice encompasses everything from screen printing and relief printmaking to digital and traditional drawing. I find inspiration in literature and non-fiction writing, and I am particularly interested in producing work that complements text.

I possess a deep interest in, and exceptional ability to translate, complex or sensitive concepts into impactful and engaging illustrations. I thrive when working to a client brief, excelling in visually and verbally communicating my ideas, as well as in written contexts, while collaborating with industry leaders such as Woodmansterne Publications.

I enjoy working across various areas of the illustration field, with interests in adult publishing, editorial, stationery and greetings, as well as site-specific projects.
