A Bit About Me
Hope you've had a good time looking around my site! I try to keep it updated as much as possible, but social media is gonna be your best bet to more recent stuff (links below!).
​
Love creating illustrations, mostly children's book based, but I enjoy any illustrating! I enjoy helping clients find their feet with their own branding or even creating logos for their new adventure. I really enjoy working with new people, so please don't hesitate to contact me for your next project! I am also selling digital prints, handwritten fonts, and more on my shop page, so take a gander if that interests you!
​
I love to read, draw, crochet, watch all the horror films (especially the B-Z rated ones), and hang out with the cats and husband on rainy days (or any days really). Occasionally, I used to go out for half priced apps because everyone needs to treat themselves every once in awhile, but since the pandemic, the closest I've been to eating out is staring out the door waiting for our delivery guy to get here.
​
Humor is my life blood, and I will always appreciate a good dad joke. Although, do expect an eye-roll. The more dramatic, the more I enjoyed it.
