I love to spread the joy of reading, writing and drawing through my books and workshops. I created the ‘I Can Draw’ series of step-by-step drawing books featuring characters based on simple shapes, published by Quarto.
I’ve written several fun and topical picture book texts, and a diary style chapter book with a strong female Muslim central character who has a very big imagination. I’m also taking some illustration courses to develop my sketching and painting skills. Watch this space!
I run popular comics and illustration workshops for schools, SEND settings and other organisations in London and beyond, including Discover Children’s Story Centre, Museum of the Home and the Sharjah International Book Fair. I’m a Creative Engagement Librarian with a previous career in fashion design.
