As it’s been a while - here’s a reminder of what I make.

Some of my recent projects, which I’ve absolutely loved working on. Great briefs, great collaborations, and exactly the kind of work I want more of. Blending illustration and design is what I do best - I honestly can’t imagine doing anything else.

Recent collaborations with David Robinson at Vehicle Studio (Walrus & Headland) and (Crocodile Creek).

Here’s some recent work👇

So. The bigger hello I promised.

The short version: I’ve been head down working on some really good projects, life has been full and loud and busy, and Instagram has been the thing that kept falling off the list.

The longer version: I got to a point where I was genuinely worried about where work was coming from. So I did something about it - rebuilt my website, backed myself, and got my head down. The work came. Really good work.

I didn’t really miss posting, if I’m honest. But I did miss keeping up with people - seeing what everyone’s been making.

I miss that 2016 Instagram feeling. The version where people connected with each other. I don’t know if that exists anymore, but I want to try and find it again 💛

So this is me, showing back up. With a lot of new work to share, some honest process stuff, and probably some sketchbook nonsense in between.

Group trip… or group chaos? 😅✈️

Travelling with friends or family isn’t always smooth sailing - but it can be way more enjoyable with a few smart tips.

The brief was all about capturing relatable travel moments and turning them into playful, story-driven visuals. I illustrated this series for , bringing to life the real-world highs and lows of shared getaways - from packing stress to al fresco dining bliss.

One of my favourite pieces features a car packed for a holiday - complete with an inflatable unicorn. I had to include it after our own trip to Greece, where we carted one around everywhere with us!

✏️New work drop!✏️

I was commissioned to create a set of illustrations for Firefly’s brand refresh - a dating app that uses personality quizzes to spark meaningful connection.

The brief? Playful, inclusive, and packed with personality.

I illustrated a collection of bold, expressive icons - from hands and objects to mini-scenes - each designed to guide users through Firefly’s quiz categories with warmth and clarity. Think romantic, sexual, lifestyle, and fun - all wrapped in glowing gradients and intentional detail. 🔥

✨ ✏️ My Approach to Illustration 🎨 ✨

Every illustrator works a little differently - here’s what guides me.
🫶 My approach is thoughtful, considered, playful, and expressive.

I like to keep things clear, collaborative, and full of character. Whether it’s a big campaign or a small-but-mighty project, I bring a design mindset and a human touch to everything I create.

Because I believe:
✏️ Bold work should still be thoughtful
✏️ Personality matters - in brands and in the process
✏️ The small details always add up
✏️ Play and purpose can absolutely go together
✏️ Good work starts with kind collaboration

That’s the kind of work I love doing - and the kind of people I love working with. Need some character in your next project? Drop me a message.

Just served up! 🍽️

Here’s a taste of the illustration and branding I created for happening right now - 3rd to 11th May! This was such a fun project to work on, and the recipe analogy felt far too fitting not to lean into (ohhhh yes, I’m going there) 😅 🤣

Building a brand is a lot like creating a great meal - it takes time, care, and just the right balance of ingredients. Before I even open my laptop, I always begin with a deep dive into the who, what, and why behind the brand. For this project, that meant a discovery call with the client, followed by my own research and a carefully curated moodboard. That board became a touchstone for the whole process - something I came back to again and again.

So what were the key ingredients for this one?
A punchy tone of voice, a bold and inviting colour palette, carefully chosen fonts, and a menu of graphic assets that all work together to make something deliciously cohesive. 😋

Just like combining flavours and textures to get those tastebuds going, every design choice here was made to connect with the audience and bring Bath’s buzzing food scene to life.

Thankfully for everyone involved, there were no chopping boards or chef’s hats on my end (my skills definitely don’t lie in the kitchen) - just a lot of thought, storytelling, and creative layering.

Here’s an illustration from the project I worked on with for the NSPCC. Capturing the right age when drawing children can be tricky, but with great feedback from the team - adjusting slopey shoulders, different haircuts - we got the vision and storytelling just right. Collaboration is key; it helps you see what you might miss and pushes you to create the best possible outcome. Grateful for the amazing teamwork on this one! 🎨👧

It’s a bit of a gloomy day today, so I’m bringing the warmth of Mexico with these merchandise designs I created for the x brief - a celebration of sun, sea, and street markets. From beach towels to headscarves and tote bags, each piece is inspired by the vibrant coastal vibes and the rich tradition of Otomi embroidery.

These designs are all about capturing the essence of summer, a burst of flavour, and the bold spirit of Mexico. Viva la guava! 🌞🍹🇲🇽
