About me

I am a London-based artist and illustrator. I trained in Fashion Design (Womenswear) at Ravensbourne, London and graduated in 2012. Since then I have worked as a Design Room Assistant for a womenswear supplier in London and have volunteered for an off-grid arts organisation in Spain. I am a skilled illustrator working mainly in watercolour, pencil and digital editing. My work takes a lot of inspiration from my fashion training, with a strong eye for colour, print and the figurative.

  London Fashion WeekCommissioned by Bodhiluxe to report on London Fashion Week. I took the angle of focussing on the attendees at Somerset House as there is always such an expressive display of style on show. My illustration of Ruth Chapman, CEO of Matches Fashion was picked up by the company and shared during fashion week.
• Cuppa MagazineCommissioned by Cuppa magazine to create some delicate teacup illustrations for the centre fold of the magazine. I have since created more illustrations based around the same brief which you can see here.
• Wall of WallyAn open brief was launched to illustrate the brand guru Wally Olins (1930 - 2014) to commemorate his life. My illustration was 1 of 50 chosen to be made into a limited edition book.
