International, award-winning illustrator, and educator with many years of professional experience
My practice as a visual communicator extends across many platforms and includes my role as Senior Lecturer at the University of Hertfordshire heading the level 4 Illustration pathway on the award-winning Graphic Design & Illustration (BA Hons) course.
I am co-director of the Hero of Switzerland collective, a group of like-minded artists with a common love of fun and humour. Their work is regularly featured in magazines and exhibited in London and across the country. Seen at House of Illustration, LIF (London illustration fair), PICK ME UP graphic art festival, Somerset House, and ELCAF.
