I am a Nottingham-based creative, working primarily as an illustrator, but with a huge love of food, seasonal storytelling, travel, and small brand content. My work centres on seasonal moments, simple food, and local life - all through a slow-living lens.

Some nice things people have said!
“ Zena was really clear on the timeline, very efficient - understood the brief very well, the illustrations were all spot on, the client didn’t have any amends. The colours were perfect, reflected the colours of the hotel and nailed the look and feel we were going for. Really smooth process (especially considering the time difference).
I will definitely be in touch for future projects :) “
