HELLO FROM ME

For many years, I doodled on the back of envelopes, exam papers and napkins. In 2022, after many years of illustration being my hobby and ‘side hustle’, I decided to pursue my passion full time. I have a background in architecture, completing a masters degree at Sheffield School of Architecture in 2020, and subsequently working in practice for several years.

By combining my architectural experience with a desire to produce beautiful imagery, I contribute to design discussions to create comprehensive and convincing compositions. I am agile and flexible in the way I work and am always open to creating different types of drawing to meet specific client needs. 

I am proud that my architectural illustrations have played a key role in gaining planning permissions, earning funding, winning tenders and marketing finished projects. I find it incredibly rewarding to hear of these successes.

I am excited to discuss your project with you.

  • It's evident that Katherine invests time and effort in understanding the nuances of each project, and it shows in her work. Every piece she's created for us feels well thought out, capturing the essence of VELUX's roof windows with simplicity and elegance.

  • Katherine's work is such a brilliant complement to my design work - she helps bring my 2D ideas to life and the clients LOVE them. I adore her playful drawing style and she is a dream to work with.

A TREE PLANTED FOR EVERY ILLUSTRATION

Alongside my passion for illustration and architecture, I also have an interest in sustainability. As a sole trader I have limited resources but I am keen to help in whatever way I can to combat the challenges facing our planet. ⁠

Therefore I pledge that for every commission I receive, I will plant a tree. I’m aware this is just a small contribution but it is something I feel strongly about and I will endeavour to continually develop my sustainability and ethical policies as my business grows! ⁠

⁠

In 2022 I planted 65 trees via onetreeplanted.org - can we break this record this year?
