Overview
Thanks for taking a look at my profile! I'm an illustrator who has been living and working in Edinburgh for many years. My training was in graphic design and I bring a bold, graphic, colourful approach to each project. I strive for an immediacy in my work through a confident fluidity of line and careful composition, with illustration and typography complementing each other.
I have been the sole illustrator on six hardbacks from BBC Books, and I'm a regular contributor to Panini publications.
