About me

Hi! I'm a freelance illustrator and graphic designer with a strong focus on editorial and advertising work. Having graduated from Middlesex University with a first class degree in Illustration in 2021, I am now working as a freelancer. I enjoy creating conceptual illustrations on complex topics such as mental health, women’s rights, politics and current affairs. When not working, I can be found behind my drum kit. I love going to concerts and festivals, travelling, reading about space science and dinosaurs, and spending too much time on daydreaming.

  Financial Feminism - illustration for Lazy Women
• Push To Talk - podcast cover illustrationI was commissioned by Airbus Helicopters to create a cover illustration for their new podcast called Push To Talk with Bruce Webb.
• HopeCommission from 168 Óra magazine for their Christmas issue about hope. My two illustrations focus on various interpretations of hope. Hope for a better year to come, a hope to see friends and family for the first time after the pandemic at Christmas, a hope to fix a broken relationship or finally break free from a toxic one. Despite the two images were on separate pages, I still wanted to connect them in a discreet way with the birds. ​ This work has been longlisted for the World Illustration
