Hi, I’m Leo, a writer and illustrator based in Wales.
Before children’s books, I spent a decade working across illustration and motion design, collaborating with studios on projects for clients including Disney, the BBC, Red Bull, and Samsung.
These days, I’m crafting stories for young readers who like to laugh. I’m drawn to characters with skewed perspectives, books that feel like found objects, and stories that live in the space between the words and illustration.
Outside the studio, I’m usually hoarding pastries like a hedgehog before winter, watching old movies, or scribbling down ideas in the middle of the night before I forget them.
