In this video, I talk all about my creative career path starting out in illustration. I’m also including 6 steps you might find helpful if you’re thinking of starting a creative business or figuring out how to start.

Soon I’ll make a video covering a few different ways I make money as an illustrator (cos y’know… that bit is important when you want to make the leap!)

Background stuff/my story: I also talk a bit about where I studied illustration, what qualifications I have and how I got enough financial stability so that I was earning enough from my illustration to quit my various jobs and go full time creative as a live event illustrator and graphic recorder.
