What I Do
I help authors, publishers, and brands bring their stories to life through illustration that's vibrant, character-driven, and whimsical.
Book Cover
Cover art and interior illustration for YA and middle-grade fiction, designed to stay with a reader after the book is closed.
Editorial Illustration
Illustration for publications, campaigns, and features that needs to say something, strong visual storytelling with a distinct, stylised aesthetic.
Character Design
Original characters designed with real personality, for stories, brands, and casts that need to feel instantly recognisable.
