About me
I am a UK based illustrator and surface pattern designer, specialising in visual storytelling.
I create expressive hand drawn illustrations and pattern collections rooted in nature and folklore. My bespoke work is suited to brands, who want to express their unique vision, respecting their values and heritage, without following trends.
I have worked with global clients in clothing, fabric and giftware. I also license work from my Design Folio.
If you'd like to explore working together, or to see my portfolio, please get in touch.
