Overview
I’m an illustrator and book designer from Wales with a special interest in literature and folk dress. I’m a versatile artist and I’ve worked on Children’s/YA to adult, including; Historical, Women’s Fiction, Action, Crime, and Thriller. I am particularly skilled at strong author branding on a series as shown in my work on Jodi Taylor, Karen King, and Christina Jones. I worked in-house at an independent commercial and literary publisher, Accent Press, for over a year and have designed over 100 book covers in that time. I've worked with Accent press, Dome Press, and Firefly Press, as well as a number of self-published authors. I've worked on book covers, marketing images and interior illustrations and maps. My favourite genres to work in are women's fiction, YA, and middle-grade fiction.
