UK-based illustrator and designer with a love of all things brightly coloured.

I have over two decades of experience as an illustrator, digital artist and graphic designer working across a range of sectors and specialisms.

I love the challenge of taking intricate concepts and boiling them down to their simplest form. I use shape, texture and colour to catch the eye and convey messages in a clear and impactful way. In short, my work isn’t just about looking good – it’s about making complex ideas easy to understand and enjoy.

I particularly enjoy working with ethical and socially-minded businesses and not-for-profit organisations. If you work hard to create a better world, educate people or improve life for others then I’d love to use my skills to help you do that.

I also create and produce my own product range including cards, calendars and homewares which I sell online.

When I’m not designing I like to cook, get outdoors, potter in my garden, lift heavy weights at the gym, visit an art gallery or go and see a gig, the louder and more guitary the better. I try to get to a couple of rugby matches and some motorsport during the year and love a pub quiz. In many ways I was born in the wrong era – I love and am influenced by, second-hand books, mid-century ceramics, and 1970s interior design. I often watch old sci-fi movies while I work, Destination Moon is one of my favourites, look it up, you’ll love it!

Drawing

I draw on my iPad, in my sketchbook, with marker pens, with paint, at life drawing classes and sometimes straight into the computer.
They are experiments, a daily practice and how I will usually start all commissioned work.
Some are loose and inky and others are more fully formed – artwork in their own right.
