I am an illustrator, art director and educator based in London, UK. I’m keen to learn new ways of making things look good and interested to work with people who do all sorts of things.

I have worked for a number of international clients since founding my studio in 2006, including BBC, Design Week, Deutsche Bank, Fallon, Financial Times, Frieze, Nestle, The Guardian, The Independent on Sunday, The New York Times, Royal College of Art, The Telegraph, Uniqlo, Urban Outfitters and Waterstones. I also illustrates a regular weekly column, “Lives” for The New York Times Magazine.

My work plays on chance and process to produce a body of work which remains in a constant state of flux, where the process behind one image becomes the beginning of the next, focussing on the performance of chaos in a controlled visual structure, and highlighting moments in time.

I have written projects and taught on illustration and design programmes at Winchester School of Art, Central St Martins, Brighton University, Camberwell College of Arts and Birmingham Institute of Art & Design. My talks detail the breadth of my practice and focus on the importance of ‘thinking through making’, designed to escape the inertia caused by access to a wealth of images.

In June 2010 I also set up a studio space for illustrators in London called OPEN, with Robert Evans from Telegramme, Hugh Frost from Landfill Editions, Loren Filis from Loligo and illustrator David Callow. In November 2011 I stepped down from the everyday running of the studio to focus on my own practice.
