About me

I'm an experienced designer, artworker and project manager who loves creating beautiful, educational and innovative books for children, but would also be open to working on adult books. I spend my time doing freelance work for several publishing houses, illustration projects and events styling work.

I have worked in the publishing industry for over 7 years as a book designer, and over the past 4 years I have begun to manage illustrators and freelance designers on projects, creating covers and sample spreads for the books tone, then handing over and managing several books at once.
I have worked at several international co-edition publishing houses such as Penguin Random House, Bonnier and Arcturus, and freelanced for DK and Arcturus. I have also had the pleasure of working on some D&D books.
I mainly work on children's non-fiction on a variety of subject matters including STEM/STEAM, arts and crafts, history, puzzles, mazes, novelty, board books and some fiction books.
I have also created box sets, slipcases, audiobook covers and app layouts.

As a freelancer I can create cover and spread designs, presentations, design and illustration management of projects, illustration briefs, series styling, packaging services and amendments and checks ready for repo.
If you need someone on short notice, short term contacts, project management or full book design, please contact me at
On my artwork - After six years of studying in London, I am familiar with both vast city landscapes filled to the brim with people and noise, and the quieter rolling country side and wild life of my original home town. While both have effected and influenced my art work, it is clear that nature is the main inspiration along with books, fairy tales and fantasies.

My work plays with natural forms and interesting composition. I mainly work with graphic pens, but enjoy adding colour and detail with inks and water colours.
