Illustrators! Let's get beyond survival.
There is so much more. I want to help you build a flourishing, inspiring and sustainable career as a creative over the long-term.
I have been an illustrator for almost 25 years.
I offer a dedicated mentoring programme designed to support and guide illustrators at various stages of their careers. I work with graduates and early career Illustrators, and also with established Illustrators who need art direction, support and guidance surrounding their work.
I have 25 years of experience as an Illustrator. I’ve seen almost every kind of brief fly across my desk. I have been mentoring Illustrators globally since 2022. I help Illustrators refine their skills, expand their portfolios, and take significant steps toward their creative and professional goals.
Mentees have achieved the following:
> Secured agent representation
> Won commissions
> Gained confidence to develop and submit personal projects
> Built and refined their portfolios
> Explored and strengthened their creative voice
My goal is to help illustrators see beyond struggle and survival and simply making a living— I want to help you to develop a vision for their work and career. Whether you're in the early stages of your career or are already established, I provide structured guidance, feedback, and goal-setting. I also offer optional mock briefs to enhance and tailor portfolios.
I believe that when creatives discover and embrace their unique voice, competition becomes irrelevant, trends are less relevant—the work will speak powerfully for itself, your creative voice is invaluable in a saturated and competitive marketplace and it means a long career and YOU setting the trends.
