I am an illustrator based in bonnie Dundee, Scotland. I graduated with a First Class Honours in Illustration from Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design and completed my MA Children's Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art with Distinction.
My work takes a look at human behaviour and everyday life, paying attention to the different scenarios we normally disregard and observing the different quirks we have as a species. I enjoy creating relatable yet curious characters, embracing the real features of everyday people. Humour is a very important part of my practice and I believe it’s important to step back and look at everyday life and the comedy that lies within it.
Outside of my practice, I have a great love for old school detective drama’s, playing Frustration and terrible t-shirts.
