I am an award-winning Scottish illustrator and writer based in Glasgow. At the heart of my practice is a love of drawing, narrative, and making picture books, however, I is always keen to collaborate and take on new projects. Take a look at some of my latest projects and commissions here.

I am happy to visit schools, libraries and colleges, and have a range of workshops and events that I can offer for both children and adults. I am registered with Live Literature Scotland.
