I'm an illustrator based in South London. I've always loved drawing and my earliest memory is drawing with my dad. I was obsessed with Beatrix Potter with her beautiful illustrations of cute fluffy bunnies and animals as a child. Ever since I can remember I always wanted to have the exact studio Beatrix had with her bunny sitting on her desk! Everywhere I go I carry around a sketchbook and jot down every idea that comes to my head. Before I became an illustrator I taught yoga to young children, making up innovative stories through yoga. This was what later inspired me to illustrate children's books. I loves the hustle and bustle of the city and stopping off at small coffee shops, where she gathers most inspiration from the people and atmosphere. Creating cute, fun characters is what she loves about illustrating.
