Eleanor is an illustrator, author and designer living in London.  

She studied Fine Art, then Interactive Design, and after a lovely few years designing and illustrating museum installations for children, she remembered that drawing and making stories is what she liked doing best of all. 

In 2022 she graduated from Cambridge School of Art with an MA in Children’s Book Illustration and shortly after was a winner in the Bologna Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition and was also shortlisted for Nami Concours 2023.

Along the way, Eleanor has played piano for toddler music groups, led Forest School adventures for toddlers and had children of her own, all of which inspire and inform her work.
