I grew up with creativity around me and was lucky to be supported and encouraged in all my creative endeavours. I attended Loughborough University where I gained my Art Foundation ahead of completing a Graphic and Media Design Degree at the London College of Communication.

My work is inspired by the golden age of travel. I enjoy working with bright, limited colour palettes and am inspired by the simple, bold Art Deco posters from the early twentieth century. I love nature and natural forms and use bold silhouettes and graphic shapes in my designs.

I am comfortable drawing a variety of subjects from people and landscapes, to buildings and cars. I also love my local area and produce Travel Posters in the Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, and Hertfordshire areas.

I have worked with a range of clients from small start-ups to large establish retail brands, as well as private clients. My experience covers live events, above and below the line advertising, marketing, branding, digital and social media.

I am a mum, I have two young girls; it is the best job ever!
