About me

I’m Amy (they/them). I live in Bristol with my partner and pooch, together we make The Pack. And I love doing a lot of things! I’ve designed children’s books for 15 years, and along that journey became skilled in art direction, illustration, and some writing too. Incapable of putting the pencil down, I am constantly sketching ideas usually to do with how I am feeling and/or animals. I love painting and making art, especially as part of community projects. I believe in the therapeutic power of art to connect people and inspire change. Embrace the cheese!

Oh - and this is Dexter. He is my loyal side-kick. Protector of sticks. Catcher of balls. Destroyer of post mail. My muse. You’ll meet him on our calls.
