I’m an experienced Graphic Designer and Illustrator with a passion for editorial design and illustration. I deliver creative solutions across print and digital media for in-house teams and agencies. I was awarded a Creative Arts Scholarship at University and after graduating in 2013 I’ve built a dynamic career in design. Alongside my full-time roles, I’ve developed a successful freelance business and Etsy shop, gaining hands-on experience in project management, client communication, and print production. I sell illustration art prints online, produce wedding stationery and create bespoke commissioned illustrations. In recognition of my freelance work, I have been awarded three illustration awards. The most recent being Illustrator of the Year (East Midlands) in the Midlands Enterprises Awards 2025.
