What do you love about design?
The freedom it gives you to be able to visualise your ideas and thinking.
Why do you teach?
I know how hard it is to get into the design industry and I love to help be part of getting people who are passionate about design the best chances going into it.
Tell us about your design career outside of Shillington.
I focus a lot on my side hustle Good Day Printing. I love anything print so I started this business purely to get away from the screen and it pretty much got out of hand after that.
What or who are you loving right now?
I am obsessed with children’s books at the moment! Some of my favourite children’s books illustrators at the moment are: Phoebe Wahl, Melissa Castrillon and Sandra Dieckmann.
If you were a typeface, what would you be?
Comic Sans. Because I tend to be the odd one out.
What’s your favourite blog?
Picturebook Makers! But I also spend way too much time on Pinterest.
