"Hello, I'm Leona and I'm a graphic designer/ Illustrator residing in NW London with my boyfriend Joe who is also a designer. I graduated from Chelsea college of Art and design in 2004 with a degree in Design for Communication, since then I have been earning a living as a graphic designer.

Illustration is something I love and although my day job allows me to do a lot of illustration, it's out of work that I really pursue my passion for drawing. I draw with rotring pens and colouring pencils but I often give my illustrations that polished look by redrawing them in Adobe illustrator, I also purchased a Gocco printer recently which I plan to master soon!

I plan to carry on Illustrating and getting my work seen although I'm not about to quit being a designer yet, I like to do everything! So far this year my work has been published in 'Curvy 5' released by Yen Magazine, and now 'Amelia's magazine'!"
