About me

I am an Illustrator and Surface Pattern Designer in Wellington, New Zealand. I've been working freelance for the last 10 years. I'm a wiz in Adobe Creative Suite. In particular Illustrator, Photoshop and InDesign. I also work traditionally on specialised projects.

My specialities include surface pattern design and children's illustrations. My work has appeared on fabric, stationery, shoes, kids novelty products and children's clothing globally.
My first children's book "A Home for Luna" written by Stef Gemmill, won the 2022 Rubery Book Award in the Children's category. I've since illustrated over 15 children's books, including board boards, picture books and activity books for publishers such as Scholastic UK, Harper Collins, and Penguin Random House
