I illustrated and designed The Unhurry Book, an activity book aimed to help children slow down and relax. The sloth characters teach you how to do yoga, take mindful walks and make your own tent fort.

I love making maps AND I love a pint so it was a dream job being asked to contribute to the second Londonist map book: Londonist Drinks.
This map is a themed pub crawl based on the 12 days of Christmas. Best of luck trying to complete this one and still remember it at the end…
I was also asked to do a few other boozy spot illustrations for some articles in the book, a selection are to the right.
