Christine grew up in Kent and now lives in Northamptonshire. She loved the illustrations in the books she read as a child. She trained as a graphic designer in Leicester and Northampton, and in her first job as a junior designer her employer bought a small greeting card company and she immediately loved it, where she designed/illustrated entire ranges, and art directed photography/freelance illustrators. She describes her work as quirky, whimsical, and contemporary, she also has a more traditional soft and cute character style too.
