I’m originally from Derbyshire, England, but I’ve been living in Switzerland for the past 12 years. I work as an illustrator with clients including Cricket Children’s Magazine, Museums and Galleries, Family Matters Magazine and New Buds Publishing House.

​

Much of my inspiration comes from family life and from the mountains on my doorstep. The colours, patterns and textures of the landscape are a constant source of ideas, and my work often focuses on personal, emotive stories. As part of the LGBTQ+ community, I bring a perspective that gently shapes the warmth and inclusivity I try to capture in my illustrations. I’m also deeply inspired by my work with children – I love the vibrancy and honesty in their art, and I try to carry that same playfulness into my own work.

​

I mostly work digitally in Procreate, but in a loose, organic way – I avoid the undo button whenever I can so that little quirks and wobbles stay in the picture, keeping it lively and hand-drawn. I also often mix in handmade patterns and textures to give my illustrations more depth and character.

​

Being from the north of England, there’s still nothing I enjoy more than sitting down with a sketchbook and a proper cup of tea – preferably made in a nice teapot. You can see what I’ve been drawing, dreaming and doodling over on Instagram.
