I could describe myself as an illustrator, but really, the best description is that I’m a girl who just likes to draw. I did a degree in interior architecture and design and have worked in the industry for six years, designing restaurants and bars. I love it – I really do – but there is something about drawing and illustrating that soothes and satisfies me so much more than restaurant design.

At the moment, I don’t really have such a thing as a ‘desk’; sometimes it’s the dining table, sometimes it’s a spot in a co-working space. The only real constraint that I have is the size of the paper I’m drawing on. My favourite way to work is when I create smaller pieces and a café becomes my office.
