ABOUT

I am a freelance illustrator, printmaker, designer and gardener based at The Mill studios in Penryn, Cornwall UK.

My work is inspired by sisterhood, friendship, and our connection to the natural world. I draw playful interactions between people and nature, inspired by outdoor adventuring, sea swimming, surfing, and flower growing. Specialising in sequential imagery and printmaking on paper and fabrics, I like to tell stories through drawings and work with sustainable companies.

SERVICES

Brand illustrations and visual identity, logo design, posters, packaging and surface design, stop motion animations, hand printed designs for paper and textiles, and mural painting.
