I was absolutely thrilled to work on the Christmas 2024 packaging for the classic Yorkshire-based brand, Bettys.
Known for their craft bakery and beautiful tea rooms, the team at Bettys asked me to create illustrations for their Christmas range; including mince pies, Christmas puddings, gift bags and even an apron design.
As part of research for the project, I was invited to visit Bettys bakery and their Harrogate tea room. I got to meet the lovely team and sneak a peek behind the scenes, watching the talented bakers hard at work. The highlight was definitely getting to sample lots of their delicious baked goods and chocolates!
I thoroughly enjoyed creating the seasonal patterned frames, featuring lots of ingredients from their recipes, alongside the bakery itself.

Book Cover Design: The Moon and Stars
I had a lot of fun designing and illustrating the cover for Jenna Warren’s debut novel, The Moon and Stars, published in October by Fairlight Books.
I was commissioned by Rebecca Blackmore-Dawes at Fairlight to create a cover that would capture the love of drama and musicals depicted beautifully within the novel, along with the iconic old theatre setting, decorated with celestial imagery. The story features a strong nod to The Phantom of the Opera.
The Moon and Stars is published 20th October and available to pre-order here. Thanks to my agents at The Artworks!
