I am a London based illustrator. I studied graphic design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design(CSM) and have a masters in art history from Edinburgh University.
I have experience in editorial work with an interest in newspaper, book and magazine illustration.
Since 2013 I have been teaching illustration as an associate lecturer at CSM.
Projects
- 52 Words a Year52 Words a Year Since 2014 I have been involved in an illustration project called 52 Words a Year. Every week three other illustrators and I create an image based on a word. To mark the project’s first anniversary a catalogue was created in 2015 to showcase some of the work produced over that year. To visit the website go to: 52wordsayear.com
- Tinder TuesdayTinder Tuesday is an ongoing project where I recreate the humorous, beautiful and sometimes desperate characters on tinder. The series has also been used to parody some of 2016’s most enigmatic leaders like Boris 52 and Trump 70. For full disclosure the first image of the series features me.
