Instructor's Courses

Hello and welcome!

I’m a full-time illustrator and surface pattern designer from Wellington, New Zealand. I’m obsessed with creating beautiful things, from craft to illustration to sewing to IKEA flat packs (no kidding).

I’m also obsessed with learning, which drew me to Skillshare. Years ago, I stumbled across this little (well, actually big) gem, did some classes, and then voila, I became a teacher! I teach what I love - illustration and surface pattern design - and I’m so happy I can share my skills with you all. It’s an absolute joy to watch others grow to make a career out of what they love doing.

My client list includes Scholastic UK, Harper Collins, Hallmark Creative US, American Greetings, Auzou, Liontree Publishing, New Frontier Publishing, Lilipinso, Oxford University Press, and more.

Thank you for following me and taking my classes.
