In this studio update, I’m sharing the exciting milestone of finishing the first draft of my debut children’s book. Collaborating with a friend helped me rediscover my creative flow and take a big step towards my dream of becoming a children’s book illustrator and author. Read on to discover what this journey has taught me, and what’s next for my illustration projects, storytelling, and creative process.

Illustration, for me, has always been about more than drawing — it’s about storytelling, heart, and sparking curiosity. That same spirit led me to create The Creative & Curious Club podcast: a gentle, encouraging space for artists, dreamers, and anyone looking to live a more creative life. In this post, I’m sharing the story behind the podcast, how it connects with my illustration journey, and what you can expect from each episode.

I worked with Wee Wild Weddings to create a custom illustrated logo featuring Glasgow’s iconic Duke of Wellington statue. This bespoke design celebrates Scottish charm and storytelling, perfect for wedding businesses seeking meaningful, whimsical branding.
