I’m an illustrator, designer and published picture book author/illustrator inspired by outdoor adventures and the everyday moments that spark ideas. I love getting carried away by imagination, always with a sense of fun, whether quietly playful or just plain silly. I use versatile creativity and determined problem solving to answer the brief and get the best outcome for each challenge.
Printmaking is an important part of my practice, and my work also includes pop-up book engineering.
Over the years I’ve worked across children’s publishing, pre-school magazines, educational, and commercial illustration and design, creating work for varied international audiences.
