It took quite a while to simplify drawings of babies. Their features are already very simple so it was always a question of giving the images the qualities that one feels when interacting with babies.
I am a children's book illustrator and author. I trained as a graphic designer, and have worked in publishing for over thirty years.
Nowadays I work at Harper Collins running an inclusive global imprint called Kumusha Books. I still write and illustrate children's books though and enjoy every minute immersed in publishing!
