My range of services is highly adaptable, and can include anything from building a project entirely from scratch, executing a specific design brief, to mentoring a team through your creative process to produce the best possible version of your vision. I bring a strong aesthetic sense, a thorough research-led iterative process, and a practical, problem-solving approach to any task.I am happy to discuss ideas before you commit to working with me, so go ahead email your project pitch, budget, deadline, or any further queries to [email protected].

All kinds of narrative-led projects are my forte, whether they involve infusing a promotional poster with the story of a show, drawing out the key elements of an article for an editorial illustration, or developing a range of concept art for a game steeped in believable world-building.I've created cover artwork for books, albums, and podcasts, concept art for animation and games, editorial illustration for magazines, print-ready product packaging, picture books for children, event posters and digital promotional material, and merchandise design including shirts, stickers, art prints, die-cut products, and more.
