Description

Hi all! I'm a graphic designer & illustrator from West Yorkshire, UK.

When not drawing or designing i love hiking, climbing, wild swimming and learning to surf + surfskate. When indoors, I love reading, having dinner & drinks with friends, and a good bit of terrible reality telly.

After 3 years of working remotely as a designer, I'm opting to run away from home and freelance. To travel and create along the way would be a dream!
