ABOUT

An author, illustrator, designer and magazine editor-in-chief. Originally from Yorkshire, now living by the sea in Hastings.

With an MA in Communication Art & Design from The Royal College of Art, I thrive in idea generation, art direction, design, writing and illustration. As a freelance designer/illustrator I have been commissioned by brands such as Transport for London, MTV NY, Nails Inc, M&S, Hallmark, The Guardian and many more. I am also a successful children’s author and self-publisher, with books featured in Vogue Japan, The NY Times, Heat Magazine, The Guardian, MTV, Elle Magazine, Good Morning America, and The Ellen Degeneres Show.

I am always happy to work for new brands, publishers and collaborators.
