I graduated from Manchester Metropolitan University in 1999 with a BA(Hons)
in Illustration and an MA in Communication Design, and have been working
as an illustrator ever since under the representation of The Organisation.

My work is colourful and lively with broad appeal and I like to add decorative
elements or a mood of drama where appropriate. Over the years I have
worked for a wide range of clients including:

Chronicle Books, Barefoot Books, Egmont Children's Books, Faber & Faber, Weidenfeld &
Nicolson, Orion Children's Books, David Fickling Books, Random House, Hodder Headline, Penguin,
Macmillan, Time Warner Books, Duncan Baird Publishers, Transworld
Publishers, Oxford University Press, Godsfield Press, Lion Publishing,
HarperCollins, BBC, Fox Kalomaski, Mother, CAFOD, Christian Aid and many others.

Recently I illustrated the 'Barefoot Books World Atlas' which is now in its fifth printing and has been translated into several languages. The book has been featured on BBC television, and the App for iPad and iPhone based on it has been an 'App of the week' and appeared on several lists of essential apps.

In the past few years I have had the opportunity to work on a couple of ongoing series of
junior novels, providing covers and interior illustrations - Lauren St John's bestselling
'The White Giraffe' series and her award-winning 'Laura Marlin Mysteries'
are published in the UK by Orion, and David Alric's Bonaventure Trilogy -
'The Promised One', 'The Valley of the Ancients' and 'African Pursuit'

I live in Cheshire, England.
