Rockpool
Narrative Non-fiction 2024
Rockpool is a gentle, meditative story about a day out at the coast. It is focused on the sensory experience, as well as being fun and informative. By inspiring curiosity and a love of nature in young (and older!) readers, Rockpool encourages adventure, exploration and the slowing down of life in order to enjoy the world around us.

The Switch
Fiction 2023
This is the epic tale of a young girl who sets out on an adventure on a rainy day. It is full of drama, magic and excitement! I produced this book as my final student project at Leith School of Art. I wrote, designed and illustrated the complete book with the aim of creating something that gave complete agency to the central character in an Alice in Wonderland style adventure story.
“So on with my boots, not scared anymore, Braving the rain, I stepped out of the door.”
Folktale Week 2023
In this wonderful annual event held over seven days, I created one illustration for each day in response to a given prompt. The three images below correspond to the prompts “Lost”, “Ink”, and “Found”. The full set of seven images can be found on my Instagram page and together tell the sad story of a monstrous Kraken in his retirement.
