Hi! I'm passionate and experienced illustrator with a background in children’s book illustration and young adult fiction.

I completed my bachelors degree in graphic design with a focus on illustration in 2014 and have over ten years experience creating book covers for a variety of genres. I usually specialise in digital artwork but I also love putting the brush to paper with watercolours when given the chance.

I have illustrated several children’s and young adult books with respectable publishers including Hachette / Black Dog & Leventhal, National Geographic Learning, Bolinda Audio and ABDO Publishers and have many more exciting projects on the horizon!

My real passion is for children's books! The kid's section is where you will find me at the book store or library. I love the artworks ability to engage and pull in the reader and enrich the story. I think engaging characters and charming expressions are so, so important - So much of communication is based in the subtle interplay of human emotions and reactions. Be it the animal or human characters, my illustrations are guaranteed to have an instantly readable personality, brought to life by a broad and dynamic command of expression.

It is true that a book will be judged by it's cover, I have your back here!

I would love the opportunity to bring your characters to life!
