From Studio Practice to Commercial Careers
I’ve spent over two decades working across illustration, greeting cards, print and brand licensing. Today, alongside my own studio practice, I teach illustrators how to build sustainable, commercial careers — from developing a licensable visual language to understanding production, pitching and long-term partnerships.
My courses and workshops are rooted in real-world experience rather than theory, sharing the processes, decisions and industry knowledge I wish I’d had at the start.
From Studio Sketchbook to Your Walls
I create limited-edition art prints inspired by travel, colour, everyday moments and the quiet stories that I see around me. Each piece begins as an original artwork in my sketchbook and is produced in small batch prints.
These are works for your walls — to bring warmth, character and a gentle sense of narrative into your space.
From greeting cards and print production to brand licensing and pitching, my courses are designed to help illustrators turn their work into sustainable, professional careers.
