Before becoming a freelance illustrator, Clare worked in the greeting card industry for over twelve years.

Attributing her passion for designing greeting cards to experiences she gained from an entry-level role with a greetings publisher, Clare went on to pursue this new love as a professional career, spending several years working for one of the largest, most recognised greeting card brands in the industry, Hallmark Plc., and seeing her style and artistic confidence develop enormously during this time.

She loves all things colourful and ‘arty’, and suspects her love for Pinterest is incurable!
