Hey there! My name is Milly and I live in the New Forest, England. I love to illustrate children’s stories. My first book is due out in August 2026. Stay tuned!

I love to draw inky, lively fun characters.

In the meantime, if you would like to discuss any illustration opportunities then please get in touch.

I am a lecturer of Fine Art at Arts University Bournemouth, where I also recently received an MA in illustration. Previously I have completed teaching degrees from Cambridge University.

Briefly, I had a YouTube channel which is devoted to helping children learn character design. Please check out my ‘Draw with Milly’ page here. Whilst I no longer make YouTube content, I am available for presenting work.
