About me

I'm a Birmingham based Illustrator who has been freelancing for 3 years now. I'm an introverted Aquarius, but I can assure you I am bursting with explosive ideas on the inside. I love working textures and tend to through lots of shapes around. I like to work with charming characters and challenge myself with various briefs. My practice is steered more towards editorial and publishing, but that doesn't mean to say that I don't love to work on other projects.
