I am a professional illustrator and designer, with 12 years experience of working for high end clients in the media/publishing industry. I have been a freelance illustrator since I graduated in June 1999, producing digital illustration to commission for newspapers and magazines, and for educational publishing; and undertaking design briefs using the current applications. Since completing my MA in Multidisciplinary Printmaking in 2006 I have also produced a lot of craft-based print work (relief and intaglio) to commission for private clients, and for exhibition.
For the past 2 years she has been running workshops in linocut and drypoint printmaking, embossing and bookbinding from her studio in Bristol.
Currently the designer for a Heritage Lottery funded project called 'Sistershow Revisited', which is an exhibition about women's history in Bristol. I am designing the exhibition and the book that will accompany it.
