When I was little I liked drawing pictures. When I got bigger I still liked drawing pictures.

In fact, I liked drawing pictures so much, I went to Loughborough University to learn more

about drawing pictures, and graduated from there in 2001 with BA (Hons) Illustration.

 

From there, I was employed for 5 years as a designer at Usborne Publishing, before making the scary move into freelancing... I now work from my little house in North London, drawing pictures all day, whilst drinking tea and wearing panda slippers. I work mostly in children's publishing, designing and illustrating children's books, but have worked across many other fields including greetings cards and gift wrap, surface pattern design, craft projects, toy packaging, and company branding.

 

Also I occasionally work in-house for various studios... but leave the pandas at home.
