About me
There's no problem I don't love solving with illustration and graphic design, and I have a particular passion for storytelling. Be it through painting giant snoozy dogs on the walls of a local café, or carefully selecting materials to best represent Sir Quentin Blake's sketchbook for a special edition... or even working out how many bits of cereal to sneak into Mr. Twit's beard in a mural for the Netflix office. Every part of a design has it's own sneaky story to tell.
I have worked on projects such as books, branding, style guide creation, high profile brand collaborations and campaigns, and more. Notable projects have been: creating five high-end special edition books for the Roald Dahl Story Company, two of which reaching the shortlist for D&AD and DesignWeek; painting a mural for my favourite local café - which has currently reached the World Illustration Awards Longlist; creating sell-out merchandise for the 'Enormous Crocodile' musical at Regent's Park Open Air Theatre; illustrating Roald Dahl's Marvellous Revolting Recipes; concept, design and illustration work for Taika Waititi and The Giant Peach to raise money for Partners In Health; and working on many brand collaborations, such as for The Natural History Museum, One Aldwych, Luxury Family Hotels, Calm, and more.
