Hello and a very big welcome,

For me, writing and illustrating is my absolute happy place. There are so many aspects that I love and I could drive into rabbit holes day after day.

Why I’m so passionate about the ‘Kid Lit’ community.

Growing up, reading was almost non existent.

Up to this day, letters and sentences jumble, some letters replace others and some disappear.

Regardless of these challenges, my love for books both story and illustrations has never dimmed.

This is why I’m so driven to create quality picture books that inspire and spark imagination.

There is so much potential to create books where children can see hope and realise their potential.

It is an important role and I am honoured be apart of this amazing community, creating a pathway for our children and for generations to come.

My illustration style/process

I am like a kid in a candy store when I get a story. I love researching elements that stand out. I make oodles of notes and drawings, till I have a clear picture of the characters whimsical world.

I then pair this back and pluck the loudest pieces from the pile and refine them.

Using watercolour and pencil, I use a mix of controlled and loose lines, play with perspective, scale, lighting, and primitive aspects to create engaging illustrations.

With a background in Visualising Merchandising, this has helped with illustrative techniques such as colour theory, shading and perspective as well as given me insight into design and marketing.

My Interests

When I am not writing or illustrating, I am with my family.

I love spending time in the garden with my daughter and hanging with my four fur babies.
