I’m a children’s book author and illustrator based in the UK. I love creating stories that celebrate imagination, friendship, and creativity. My début picture book, Kip and the Squiggledoodle, is published by Farshore/HarperCollins and comes out on May 8, 2025.

I create playful, expressive picture books with themes of friendship, childhood imagination, and growing up. My art style is whimsical and full of movement, bringing characters to life in a way that connects with young readers.
