I am a children's book illustrator living in Worthing with my lovely boyfriend and kitten.

I absolutely love what I do and especially love the beginning of projects when i can let my imagination go and create the characters and the worlds they live in.

I have been lucky enough to work in the word of children's publishing for the last 6 years and have had a lot of fun meeting all the talented writers, designers and editors who I get to work with.
