Her first two Author/Illustrator books were published by Rocket Bird Books and she has since worked with Flying Eye, Dorling Kindersley, Design for Today and Andersen Press. In the past two years her work has been shortlisted twice for the Shirley Hughes Sketchbook Award, nominated for the Klaus Flugge Prize and shortlisted for the Indie Book Awards.
