An illustrator, designer and interdisciplinary artist based in Leeds; a graduate with a first-class MA from LAU and a BA (Hons) in Textile Design from Leeds University. Working with a wide range of clients to make work which is joyful and empowering. Industry skills? You bet ya! Illustration, graphic design, textile artwork, laser-cut, product design, mural painting and much, much more!

Having trained in Textile Design and since worked with a wide range of clients to create graphic designs, hand-drawn and digital illustrations, products, 3D works – to murals and exhibitions and more(!), I call myself a mixed-media, multi-disciplinary illustrator – or an artist or designer (because sometimes that’s easier).

At the centre of my work, is the idea of communication - creating a shared feeling between the artist and the audience; in order to cross borders, shift boundaries and encourage inclusive thought. My work aims to be joyful and empowering; giving home to playful characters and vibrant colour palettes - which often challenge stereotypes and aim to promote community and inclusivity.

I create work that is aimed at all ages and identities; having previously worked on publications for children, made work for women (and lovers of women alike!) as well as worked on exhibitions for general public.
