In true stereotypical illustrator style, I can often be found tote bag in hand with my sketchbook and a handful of drawing tools rattling around inside and possibly a pencil in my hair. Whilst I'm a sucker for a 4B pencil and dotted pages, Procreate is typically alongside them in my tools of choice. Drawing inspiration from my childhood growing up in Somerset, my love of nature, people watching and exploring the outdoors; many of my illustrations contain a playful use of shapes, colours and characters - with a mix of detail, humour and sometimes anthropomorphism.

I had a fab time working on this project with freelance graphic designer Sarah (@jolly_gs on insta) and illustrating a variety of components within this A4 booklet!
- On the Hunt for MushroomsOn the Hunt for Mushrooms is the title of my Pre-Major Project, in which I created an ‘educational picture book’ consisting of an entertaining narrative before moving onto double page spreads identifying various mushrooms and fungi that can be found in the U.K. The initial narrative has a humorous twist when we see a mushroom being plucked and inspected.
