Overview
I'm a designer and illustrator with over 10 years experience in publishing and many more as an illustrator and character designer. I have worked in a large and busy publishing house creating everything from children's activity books to bespoke tins. I have created sticker books, maze books, activity books, craft books, cookbooks, bath books, and everything in between. I have worked in stationary, pattern making, character design and background design and storyboarding. I just love to be creative. I can work in a variety of styles and I'm always happy to chat about your needs, and will always commit myself to a brand or project, so as to give it the due attention and dedication it requires. So if you need a book cover design, or a book fully illustrated please get in touch.
