I started out as the client. I built and sold a kids product brand called Timber Kids from naming it to sourcing manufacturers, doing the buying, running the website and dealing with every creative brief that came across my desk. I've sat in the chair you're sitting in, and I know what it's like to brief an illustrator when you have a clear vision and very little time.

I draw buildings, places and things in fine black line — the kind of illustration that makes somewhere look the way it feels, not just the way it photographs. Most illustrators have never been the client. I have.
