Having more fun with character studies! I love drawing dynamic backgrounds so it’s nice to switch it up and focus on character and emotion.

Thrilled to announce my next book... PRIYA'S NOT-SO-PERFECT BRAND-NEW OUTFIT.🎉
It is part imagination and part real - a story 'little me' would have loved.
I'm grateful to my CPs and agent @adriagoetz, and excited to have the talent of @colourbyvaish.
