Published by Green Pebble Cards.
Dreamy, detail-rich illustrative style rooted in narrative and enchantment. The portfolio features character-driven compositions and seasonal motifs with a palette that tends toward soft, romantic warmth - consistent with the Edinburgh landscape and literary influence she describes.

Hand-illustrated with emphasis on detail and mood. Surface pattern output suggests digital adaptation of original hand-drawn illustration. Manages licensing independently (licensing basics listed as a skill).
Books, editorial, Licensing, and surface pattern. Published by Green Pebble Cards (UK greeting cards). The portfolio features product application in stationery and giftware contexts.
Literature graduate who moved into illustration. The University of Edinburgh MA background is central to a practice led by storytelling and literary imagination rather than trend-driven pattern making.
