My go-to tools are a dip-pen and watercolours and sitting at my drawing board doodling on my layout pad is one of my happiest places. Drawing and illustration have always been second nature to me and the urge to express myself through my drawings is compulsive, my life journey is my inspiration, the highs and the lows, I am fascinated by people, expressions and emotions.
All of my designs can be tracked back to an illustration in my sketch pad, I am a doer, love to experiment and am hands-on with every aspect of my work from the initial drawing to editing, printing, finishing and finally packaging, I only out-source my raw materials. I choose to print on wood-free paper and board, made with ECF pulp, certified FSC.
