Small drawings, big opinions, very sharp pencils
Characters with too many pockets, maps with tiny ferries on them, patterns that hide a cat if you look. Serious deadlines, cheerful drawings. Say hello if your project needs both.

I sent eleven essays on a Thursday evening and had thumbnails for every slot by Saturday. They'd read everything, including the grief pieces, and drew them with real care.
Marguerite OseiArt Director, The Long Table QuarterlyThe pattern system keeps paying for itself. We've put it on gift boxes, tea towels and a van, and every time the files were already set up for it.
Hana BrightwellCo-founder, Kettle & Crane Tea Co.The usage guide is the best I've had from any illustrator. Our designer builds new character scenes in an afternoon, and they still look like the originals.
Daniel AchterbergHead of Marketing, Orrery Science CenterCalm on a short deadline, honest about what's possible, and the proofs always match the files. I've stopped double-checking the separations.
