ABOUT ME: I have been working as a freelance illustrator for 9 years (with two maternity breaks). I left my career in architecture to pursue one in illustration and art. I decided to make the move because I found that I enjoyed the creative/artistic side of my role much more than the technical project side. I still have a passion for architecture and creating exciting visuals. Since then, I have worked on a self-employed basis, and have enjoyed delivering many creative and rewarding commissions and projects. I am dedicated and enthusiastic with a background in a challenging industry and, as such, I enjoy working hard to produce great results.
