  • Graphic Recording from Meeting Minutes
    Graphic Recording from Meeting MinutesIt's not always ✨live✨ illustration... I attended this day of talks and workshops as a guest, and later captured the key themes and points from discussions, like visual minutes, but fun! This will be shared among the organising team, as a graphic summary of what resonated most with attendees, and which points to focus on.

I created a piece inspired by living on London's canals, imagining a near future where urban communities have reclaimed existing green spaces and even buildings and made use of limited space collaboratively to live more self-sufficiently and allow nature to thri
  • Animated Self Portrait
    Animated Self PortraitThe result of needing a profile image update and developing skills in motion graphics at the same time! Of course bringing my love of fungi and soft grain together too.
  • Natural Parent Magazine - Cover Illustration
    Natural Parent Magazine - Cover IllustrationHaving licensed previous artwork to Natural Parent Magazine, I was honoured to illustrate their first cover of 2023. I was granted full creative freedom to illustrate my vision of community and support in parenthood, as well as challenging the expectation that parenting spaces are just for mothers, and normalising breastfeeding beyond infancy.
