I trained as a graphic designer at Middlesex University and the London College of Printing; since then I have worked as a designer and illustrator, including a number of high profile projects for the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Through my connections at Kew I formed an association with the Limbe Botanic Garden and Rainforest Genetic Conservation Project in the United Republic of Cameroon, and worked on several projects including illustrations of the local landscape and wildlife.

I also worked for a number of years in a design studio in Oxford, specializing in technical, medical and pharmaceutical publications. I studied web design at Oxford Brookes University and now work with Macromedia Dreamweaver.

I also look after a large website in the public sector.
