Hello! Since 2012 I have been satisfying animal and art lovers across the globe since 2012 with my illustrative range of contemporary, wildlife inspired homewares and stationery!

Together with plenty cups of tea, pencils and pens I design everything from scratch in my trusty sketchbooks from my cosy abode in Edinburgh, Scotland.

My Design Process

Once I know what animal I am going to draw I scour Pinterest, Google and online image libraries for pictures that I can use to draw from. I normally work in graphite but do sometimes use a biro pen. When I have found the images I am going to draw from I make myself a cuppa and get comfortable!

Once I have created my drawing I scan it in and using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator I add colour and create the different designs variations required for each product.

Production and Shipping

After I am happy with the how the designs are looking I send the artwork off to the different UK manufacturers I use for production. Some items take longer to make than others (kitchen linens and shopper bags take the longest - around 6-8 weeks!) but once they have been created they are sent to a lovely warehousing and logistics company who are responsible for looking after my stock and dispatching all of my online and trade orders.

Sharing my knowledge

Skillshare has brought me so much knowledge and helped me pick up new skills I otherwise wouldn't have gained and so I wanted to 'give something back'. I really enjoyed creating my Animal Pencil Drawings class and so I do hope that you enjoy it!
