About me

From a very young age, illustration has been my passion. My earliest memory of this was doodling on sheets of paper and cutting up old gift cards to create new images. I remember spending most of my childhood just drawing and being inspired to create and design anything and everything. This love of Illustration has stayed with me throughout my life from childhood all the way through to my adult life. I view illustration as a natural way for me to express myself letting my imagination run wild which allows me to create images which are personal to me.

I am a freelance illustrator, I produce different kinds of illustrations from greeting cards, posters, logo's, spot illustrations. I produce work digitally via either Photoshop or Illustrator.
