How about a brief introduction?

I’m a freelance illustrator currently living in London. At the moment I’m a tutor (it’s my part time job) and during my free time I do my illustrations as well as making new stuff for my shop.

Oh and I like my coffee in the morning.

Who/what inspires you?
Nina Chakrabarti, Sarah Beetson, Deanne Cheuk, Stina Persson and the list of illustrators goes on.

What message would you like to send out about your work?
Nostalgia, decorative/ aesthetic approach, playful, DIY, fun, not taking things too seriously and I love cute animals!

What is your biggest accomplishment to date?
Continuing to make images and not given up since graduating (which was last year.)
