I am an illustrator currently working in Windsor. I love exploring the ways light, colour and texture can enhance emotion and bring to life the stories we tell. I combine the free, textural exploration of painting, drawing and printmaking with the refinement and adaptability of digital design. While my main interest is book illustration and cover design, I have dabbled in animation and love exploring typography and how it relates to image.

InternDagwood Associates
- Old St, Hoxton, London, UKInternship
During my internship with Dagwood Associates, a packaging and proofing company, I was able to use my experience with Adobe software and printmaking to work on colour separations, registration and preparing for print. I assisted in all aspects of producing mock-ups to the best possible standard, including artworking and finishing techniques such as embossing and hot foiling. Above all, this experience truly prepared me for being in a studio with a team, keeping to deadlines and working to clients specifications.
