In this blog, I’m comparing two popular art supplies: the Derwent Studio colouring pencils and Caran d’Ache Neocolor wax pastels (Neon set). Whether you're into fine detail or bold colour play, I share the pros and cons of each and which one I personally reach for in my sketchbook practice. Plus, you can watch both in action in my full review on YouTube.

In this special episode of the Creative and Curious Club podcast, I sit down with UK photographer Katie Amanda to explore how photography can help us slow down, notice beauty in the everyday, and reconnect with our creativity. From storytelling through the lens to finding light in familiar places, this cosy chat is full of insights for anyone on a creative journey.

In this studio update, I’m sharing the exciting milestone of finishing the first draft of my debut children’s book. Collaborating with a friend helped me rediscover my creative flow and take a big step towards my dream of becoming a children’s book illustrator and author. Read on to discover what this journey has taught me, and what’s next for my illustration projects, storytelling, and creative process.

Illustration, for me, has always been about more than drawing — it’s about storytelling, heart, and sparking curiosity. That same spirit led me to create The Creative & Curious Club podcast: a gentle, encouraging space for artists, dreamers, and anyone looking to live a more creative life. In this post, I’m sharing the story behind the podcast, how it connects with my illustration journey, and what you can expect from each episode.

I worked with Wee Wild Weddings to create a custom illustrated logo featuring Glasgow’s iconic Duke of Wellington statue. This bespoke design celebrates Scottish charm and storytelling, perfect for wedding businesses seeking meaningful, whimsical branding.
