I am a illustrator/designer who lives and works in the South West of England.
I studied illustration at college and then worked as a designer of, amongst other things, licensed cards and stationery.
My work is influenced by my time spent as a graphic designer working on a broad range of projects, specialising in pre-school gift and activity led stationery, and being half Danish also gives a Scandinavian slant to some of my more decorative work.
You can view my previous design and illustration work in the sidebar pages, this included Zany Zoo for WHSmith, Little Bugs for Sainsburys and RetroMetric for Paperchase.

“Sword to Words uses anagrams to show children that they can turn a negative thing into a positive. By simply switching the letters of disagree, it becomes is agreed. Real life photographs of the sometimes cruel adult world can change into the happy and carefree thoughts of a child with a simple change in attitude. Sword to Words can teach people of all ages a valuable lesson.” Tami Su
I have created the inside illustrations for the positive words with happy, bright and colourful illustrations, a selection of which can be seen here:
Sword To Words is available from Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble and Books-a-million
