HELPING PEOPLE UNDERSTAND INFORMATION THROUGH THOUGHTFUL ILLUSTRATIONS
An illustrator living in the South West of England with my small black dog Chip.
I studied BA Illustration at Falmouth University and graduated in 2017 with a First Class Degree.
When not behind my desk drawing, I love spending time outdoors exploring in nature; in the woods, at the beach or in the mountains. Looking out for cute shells, holes in the trees, nests in the ground and thinking about all the creatures that call them home.
My illustrations are usually inspired by these outings and hopefully encourage others to get outside and into nature too.
