About me

I am British illustrator, recently relocated to Tokyo. I studied Illustration at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art (Dundee,UK), before undertaking an MA at Camberwell College of Art (London, UK).

I enjoy making fun, simple and playful illustrations. I have worked and collaborated with a variety of clients including Anorak Magazine, Belly Kids, Google City Experts, The V&A, Print Club London and TShirtStore.

Please don't hesitate to get in touch if you are interested in collaborating, or just want to say hi.
