Hello!  I'm Lucy - an illustrator, children's book author and designer based in Bristol, UK. I live with my partner and our cute cat Pebble. 

In 2015, I graduated with an MA in children’s book illustration from Cambridge School of Art.  Since then I have worked on a range of projects, from writing and illustrating picture books such as Ballet Bunnies, Just Like Mummy, Just Like Daddy, The Big Stink and The Greatest Showpenguin to designing soft toys and greetings cards.
 
I used to live in East London where I  juggled jobs as a craft assistant, an event stylist and a cake artist (yum!) alongside freelancing. Once I moved to Bristol, I worked part-time as a nursery/teaching assistant. I have always loved working with children and am currently doing my PGCE; I will be a qualified primary school teacher in June 2022 - yay.

Clients include: CBeebies, Egmont UK, House of Illustration, Jellycat, Oxford University Press, Pavilion Children's Books and Pure Electric.
