Tell us about yourself!
I have always been creative and drawn regularly throughout my life. I grew up with a creative family and so having that as an outlet and skill has been encouraged from an early age. However, I never really saw it as something I wanted to do for a living until the last few years of highschool. Then once I decided that Illustration was a path I wanted to pursue, I felt incredibly lucky to have the support and belief of my parents that I could make it work as a career. As I know that’s not everyone's experience. I find art, in particular illustration, the only way I can truly convey what I want to say or how I feel. It allows me to be completely free and create other worlds.

Where do you work?
I am currently working from my studio space that is my bedroom too haha. I am looking to move soon, and have a spare room that I can turn into a home studio. Or if there is a co-working studio near wherever I end up moving, I might consider that too as it gets lonely just working by yourself. Either way I’m looking forward to having more space for my work and ease my work/life balance!
What do you get up to when you aren’t illustrating or designing?
I love to cook and bake, meet up with friends, play music and travel. I also live near a lot of beaches and woodlands here on the east coast of Scotland, so I always try to be out in nature as much as I can. I have also been incorporating travel with work a bit more in the last year, and that’s been nice to do both together.
Most frequently played tune in the studio?
My music taste is pretty all over the place. I grew up playing different instruments and my mood can be really affected by it. So I don’t really have any specific playlists, genre or artist that I always play, I tend to go by what I’m feeling at that moment. However, recently I have been playing music by DJo, Cher, Fleetwood Mac and King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard. Don’t know what that really says about my mood at the moment but maybe I should put together some playlists!
