Hello! I’m an artist and illustrator working with clients across editorial, advertising, publishing and the sciences to communicate complex ideas through distinctive and engaging visuals.

I have over a decade of experience working with clients around the world on a wide range of projects, from science journal covers and healthcare advertising campaigns to bestselling science and nature children’s books and laboratory branding projects. My personal work explores the history of science, human progress and deep time.
