I’m an Illustrator from Glasgow, Scotland and now based in Helsinki, Finland. I
have over 15 years experience as an editorial and cover illustrator for
magazines and academic journals and have also created animations, comics
and designs for clients internationally.
I enjoy the illustration process and working collaboratively with clients to find imaginative solutions and interpretations that fit their needs. Much of my work involves drawing people, the built environment, interior spaces and intriguing landscapes. Several previous clients have been public sector or academic publications with social justice themes, and I strive to ensure that the images I create represent people respectfully and with dignity.
I use media like ink, charcoal, charcoal pencils, colour pencils, watercolour and occasionally printmaking techniques especially linocut. I also make use of layering, photomontage and collage.
I frequently use digital media for post-production and colour. I have professional knowledge of Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and some open-source packages like Krita.
Outside of illustration and communication design, I have a keen interest in urban studies and planning.
If you’d like to commission me or discuss possible collaborations feel free to get in touch.
