I am an illustrator and designer living in London. I graduated from Cambridge School of Art in 2022 with an MA in Children’s Book Illustration.
I find inspiration in the view from my studio over the rooftops of London and in interactions with small people. I love experimenting with materials, be it gouache, monoprint, charcoal or watercolour; always hoping to find just the right combination to capture the essence of a place or a character. I have a fondness for observational drawing and can often be found on a tube-train capturing sleepy commuters in my sketchbook.
In 2022 I was a winner in the Bologna Book Fair Illustrators Exhibition and I was shortlisted for Nami Concours 2023.
I am represented by Caroline Walsh of David Higham Associates.
