A bit about me

I grew up with a passion for the arts, film, and literature, since I was born into an artistic family, and cannot remember a time when I wasn't encouraged to draw, or make things.

In particular, my work is hugely influenced by colour, nature and an obsession with animals. I have strong visual skills and a desire to depict through my drawings images and scenes from my imagination and dreams. My biggest influences have been my memories of amazing books from my childhood, being constantly surrounded by artists' works from all areas and of course my love of drawing.

I have a degree from the Kent Institute of Art and Design specialising in Illustration as well as a distinction from Tower Hamlets College in Commercial Graphics and Digital Illustration where I studied art, Photoshop, Illustrator, Cinema 4D and After Effects.

I spent 10 years working in the publishing industry specifically in children's books were I was responsible for the Puffin children's book range at Penguin, 4th Estate at Harper Collins, the Colour and Activity range at Egmont Children's Books amongst others.

I am now pursuing a career in Children's book illustration which is where my passion lies.
