I am an Illustration graduate specialising in narrative illustration. My practice focuses on visually illuminating small-scale human experiences. My degree, and professional commissions, have prepared me for working within the publishing industry. Leading a Publication Team during a university project, gave me the time-management and communication skills required to meet deadlines.

My collaborations with The Sainsbury Centre and Holocaust Memorial Centre taught me to successfully respond to external briefs. My recent publishing commission involved negotiation with a client, and collaboration with a professional team. Client feedback throughout that project kept me adaptable to creative changes.

Fostering positive working relationships has led to repeat commissions from previous clients, teaching me the value of remaining reliable in industry collaborations. I aim to utilise my experience within children’s publishing, illustrating written fiction and picture books.
