About me

Hello. I’m an illustrator/artist based on the outskirts of Leeds... I enjoy playing with a simple colourful palette creating imaginative, concept lead illustrations using mainly digital media. I’ve collaborated with agencies, art directors, designers and storytellers creating works for global brands such as adidas and Coca-Cola UK to publishers and charity organisations. You can keep up to date with latest commissions and personal projects by following me on Instagram. ...I also love to run.
