About

I graduated from Anglia Ruskin University in 2011, where I gained an MA in Children’s Book Illustration. Whilst there I developed a passion for lino printing. I love the work-like physicality of printing, and the graphic nature of relief prints. Since graduating, I have worked with Quarto, Frances Lincoln Books, David Fickling Books and author Kathryn Cave.

I grew up in rural East Sussex, modelling my mother’s classic 1970s designs for Clothkits.

After studying cabinet making and 3D design, I lived in Kentish Town, North London, for 20 years making things out of wood and metal. And now I am lucky enough to be living in Brighton making up stories, drawing and making prints. 

I love living near the sea.

Aside from coming up with stories, drawing and printing I like to spend my time with friends and family, and my dog Bernie.
