I am a process-led illustrator, inquisitive, versatile and motivated, who enjoys experimenting and combining different types of media. I enjoy the challenge and interpretation of the brief and can happily collaborate with others to enhance my creativity. I have an energy for colour theory and creating textures, which is often a key feature captured in my work.
I enjoy creating imagery for younger audiences, but also have the additional experience across a range of creative projects.
