I’m a professional illustrator based in County Durham, and I’ve had the privilege of illustrating over 40 children’s books. Over the years, I’ve worked with top publishers such as Bloomsbury, Orchard Books, Egmont, and Scholastic, creating lovable characters and exciting visual stories. I studied Graphic Design at Nottingham Trent University, where I discovered my true passion for illustration.

I draw inspiration from my travels, with recent adventures taking me to Hong Kong, New York, and Tanzania. Bringing creativity and personality to each project is at the heart of what I do and I love collaborating with clients to create illustrations that truly connect with their audience.
