My Story
Art has always been a big part of my life, and has been something that I have always used to help manage my OCD and panic disorder. Originally I went to art school to study film and digital arts, where I built a strong foundation of visual storytelling skills. While I have always drawn, illustration started as a hobby outside of my professional career in marketing that over time I fell more in love with. It is the combination of my passion for illustration and storytelling that drew me to picture book's and graphic novels.
In 2023 I undertook Pop Up's Pathways Plus course that focused on Children's Picture Book Illustration. The workshops I attended during the course and network of illustrators and authors I have met since has confirmed my ambition to pursue the field which is why in September 2024 I will begin a Master’s in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art.
