Quiet Strength

This mid-grade picture book follows a quiet, observant girl as she navigates school and social life, often feeling like an outsider. Though words don’t always come easily, she finds confidence through movement especially in climbing. Along the way, she discovers a group of friends who share her passion. At home, her black cat is a constant presence, silent but knowing, offering comfort in subtle ways. A story about self discovery, belonging, and the quiet strength found in the things we love.

Nature in the city

As part of the Pathways into Children’s Publishing course, I created a concertina silent book based on the theme “nature in the city.” Inspired by my local area, it features cohabiting plants and small species, with one side showing a daytime scene and the reverse a nighttime scene.

Kitchen Provisions Greeting Cards

Commissioned by Kitchen Provisions, this project explores the art of kitchen and knife culture through illustration and traditional printmaking. I created a detailed illustration, which was then hand foil-block printed onto sustainably sourced card stock made from post-consumer waste. The combination of line work and foiling resulting a tactile finish.

Character Design

tokyobike

Tokyobike commissioned me to create illustrations for their user manual, as well as artwork for their website and Christmas window displays at their London store.

Stitching Freedom

I was commissioned by The Common Threads Press to illustrate non-fiction title about embroidery and incarceration.

Printmaking

After joining a print studio, I developed an interest in printmaking using a cylinder proofing press. My designs often involve lino printing with layered colors. I'm always explorint the way to incorporate printmaking into my illustration practice.

Hiragana and Katakana print

Hiragana and Katakana phonics chart, illustrated for easy and fun learning. Printed in two colour layers with Riso, combining playful references to make it both engaging and educational.

City Slickats

Inspired by London life. A bustling bus filled with diverse characters, each absorbed in their own activities, while keeping a sense of social sophistication.

My first broccoli

This is an exercise in understanding sequences of events, focusing on 'before' and 'after.' It explores the courage needed to face something unfamiliar and overcome the initial fear. I've noticed that fear is one of the most impactful experiences for very young children.

Ceramics

I collaborated with a local potter to paint a small batch of hand-thrown cups. I’m interested in exploring how my illustrations can be applied to everyday objects.
