The illustrator: I am a creative catch-all; a designer/illustrator/printer on a mission to cover the world with my hand drawn patterns and motifs. I'm not a vector technician, but one of the dwindling number of creatives who still likes to put pen to paper.

I work predominately, although not exclusively, in black and white. My work is underpinned by a love for the ornate, a 'paint not pixels' approach and my free-range upbringing on a rural Scottish Fish Farm.

Much of my work has roots in the flora and fauna that I grew up with. I embrace the challenge of a cross disciplinary approach, creating designs and surface patterns for everything from ceramics, to bedlinen, fashion, beer bottles wallpaper and even skin.

My ever-growing list of happy customers includes the The Crafts Council at the Victoria and Albert Museum, DKNY, The BBC, The Scottish Parliament, Dazed and Confused, Heals, Channel 4, BrewDog, Queensberry Hunt, Hendricks Gin, The Body Shop and Johnson and Johnson.

I like raspberry jam, Alice in Wonderland, sweet peas and Lady Grey tea.
