I always loved drawing and studied art at school as far as A Level. I dreamed of being an artist, illustrator and gift-maker and returned to art a decade later, freshly inspired and yet still drawn to similar subjects such as Alice in Wonderland, mermaids and dreamy girls.

As an artist and illustrator, I use many different mediums, such as coloured pencils, pens, paints, photography and digital programmes. Each medium brings something special to the designs or gifts I make and creates a varied and colourful portfolio.

I'm really inspired by the films and TV shows I watch. My favourites include Studio Ghibli, Miraculous Ladybug and How to Train Your Dragon. I also love animals, especially dogs; they appear in many of my designs and gifts.
