Hi, I am a Lake District-based illustrator with 10 years of experience working alongside clients like Microsoft, Pantene and Arla, but my favourite clients will always be small businesses and individuals. I originally founded my business in London but chose to move to the countryside to have a family and harness a slower rhythm to be able to focus on personal projects.
My goal as a professional has always been to help others bring stories and ideas to life through engaging, narrative-led illustration. Today I am also branching out into education to share what I love.
If you are looking to learn how to draw, join me in my workshop series Draw With Patterns where we'll explore various themes for digital drawing on an iPad using Procreate!
