Hello, my name is Jess
I am an illustrator specialising in children’s books from a little city in England called Worcestershire- Home of the original Bag End and less romantically, the sauce. As a self confessed book worm I am forever being inspired by the stories I read and cannot read a book without imagining how it might be illustrated. I studied Illustration at the university of Worcester and graduated with a First in 2018. Since then I have worked on a variety middle grade and picture books and am proud to represented by the wonderful Lucy at The Plum Agency.
Story telling is at the core of all I do and it is not limited to books. I have also had the pleasure of working with a variety of companies and individuals helping to tell their stories through the medium of illustration.
