About me
Illustrator of bespoke, playful, hand rendered images that help businesses engage with their customers and communicate their personality or message. My unique visual style, attention to detail and ability to captivate the imagination without being bound to reality, creates memorable, relatable images sought after by brands as they seek to create meaningful connections with their customers. I have a BA Hons Illustration degree from Loughborough University and have recently completed the London based, School for Creative Startups business course, which has given me a broader knowledge of all aspects of business including branding, marketing and PR. I love to draw people, places and to travel. Many of my images are inspired by places I have visited and the time I spent travelling and working in Turkey as a photographer following my graduation.
