About

I am a graphic designer and illustrator based in Manchester, England. 

I also run, and swim. And will talk your ear off about both if you let me!

Read my "Quit your day job" feature on the Etsy blog!
Some more words about me here, here and here and here

I have run two marathons and am a huge running addict.  I have another blog called We Do Run Run where I interview runners from all walks of life.  

I sell my products on etsy as well as to shops worldwide!  Visit my stockists page on my website to see a full list of shops where you can purchase my items, and if you have a shop where you'd like to sell my goods definitely give me a shout to discuss wholesale! 

I also work with a lot of individuals on private commissions.  Wedding stationery and portraits are very popular, please get in touch if you're thinking of a project!
