Illustration & Books
Stories have always been at the heart of my creative practice.
Through illustration, I explore emotion, imagination, identity and everyday experiences, creating artwork that is playful, accessible and full of character. My illustrations are inspired by people, communities and the stories that connect us, often drawing upon themes of neurodiversity, wellbeing and belonging.
Working across children's publishing, community projects and personal creative work, I use illustration as a way of making ideas visible, encouraging conversation and helping people see the world from different perspectives.
Published Books
I have had the pleasure of illustrating a growing collection of children's books written by author Heather Daly, bringing her stories and characters to life through colourful, engaging and expressive artwork. These books cover a range of themes and experiences, supporting children to learn, understand and celebrate differences through storytelling.
Illustrating for children's publishing has allowed me to combine my love of storytelling with my passion for creating characters that feel relatable, joyful and full of personality.
My Upcoming Book
In 2027, my first authored and illustrated children's book will be published by Tiny Tree Publishing.
Inspired by my experiences supporting autistic young people and exploring the relationship between emotions and colour, the book brings together many of the themes that have shaped my creative practice over recent years. Through storytelling and illustration, it aims to support conversations around emotions, self-expression and neurodiversity in an accessible and engaging way.
Writing and illustrating my own book marks an exciting milestone in my creative journey, combining my professional experience, research and artistic practice into a project that is deeply personal while remaining relevant to the communities I work alongside.
BEYOND BookS
Alongside publishing, illustration plays an important role throughout my wider creative practice.
From public art commissions and community projects to wellbeing resources, educational materials and exhibitions, illustration helps me communicate ideas in ways that are engaging, inclusive and accessible. My work often combines hand-drawn imagery, colour and storytelling to create visual experiences that encourage curiosity, connection and reflection.
Whether creating characters for a picture book, designing artwork for a public installation or developing resources to support emotional wellbeing, I am always interested in how illustration can help people feel seen, understood and represented.
