Mikki studied Graphic Design at Blackpool College of Art & design, and then worked as a senior artist for a card company before freelancing. Working from her home studio she concentrates on greetings cards and book illustration, her first book commission was the Bible for toddlers which was a challenge, but a fantastic job to work on.
