Do you need unique, original illustration for your business? Get in touch!
I am a professional freelance illustrator living and working in Liverton, on the edge of beautiful Dartmoor in Devon.
I love being creative, and whether it’s with images or words, the need to create never stops!
Following a degree in Fashion Promotion & Illustration at the University of the Creative Arts in Epsom, Surrey and time working in magazine editorial for titles such as Top Gear and Period Living, I then gained extensive experience in the creation and management of online content and websites in both the private and public sectors.
I have developed my skillset with businesses ranging from small independent design agencies with big clients such as Schwarzkopf; to a South West home and interior brand group; and more than a decade managing online web presences and developing a team of digital officers at the University of Exeter. With my partner I ran a digital design and user experience business based in Exeter until 2021.
Based in my home county of Devon (#devonisheaven!), I enjoy working with clients on a wide variety of illustration, design and copywriting projects while developing my own illustration range and supporting several independent shops who stock my work. I also love meeting fabulous creatives and customers at artisan markets around the South West.
