I’m a London-based illustrator and designer whose work is playful, joyful, and full of life. What drives me most is the idea that something I create could brighten someone’s day, offer a spark of joy, or help them see something familiar in a new light.

Shape and texture are central to my image-making, and colour is an integral part of how I express ideas and emotion. I take a multidisciplinary approach to my practice, working across a range of processes including drawing, paper collage, gouache, coloured pencil and pen, printmaking and digital techniques.

I draw inspiration from the everyday: the so-called ‘mundane’ moments that most people might overlook. Play is at the heart of my practice, and I love transforming the ordinary into something imaginative.

My portfolio spans children’s illustration, book covers, surface pattern and product design, and I’m always eager to expand it further.
