Little Milo Books
Illustration / Print
Growing up, I always had a passion for reading and illustration. Later on, as my design career developed, I found myself creating more graphic design work, rather than exploring character design and illustration. In 2017, I decided to write and illustrate a series of children’s books.
My Current Set Of Children Books
Since starting off with my 1st colouring book in October 2016, Little Milo Books has grown to include Story Books, Stickers, Birthday cards, plush toys and more. My main reason for creating these children’s books was due to the lack of diversity within the childrens publishing industry.

Santana’s Bad Hair Day was my very 1st story book. It tells the story of Santana and her best friend Milo, as Santana searches far and wide for the perfect hairstyle! Santana's Bad Hair Day!" encourages positivity and shows children that in the end, they are perfect just the way they are!

Santana’s World Mini Colouring Book
I have also produced colouring books based on my characters. The above example includes character from my ‘Santana’s World’ series.
BBC Midlands Today
Because of the work that I have done with my books, I have had features on BBC News and in the Sunday Express Newspaper. I have also read my books in a number of schools across the country and also put on workshops based around some of the themes in my books, such as self acceptance, friendship and self confidence.
School Event Talks
I have also attended many school events. This was when i was asked to be apart of the schools ‘We Day’ event which aimed to promote positivity and self belief.
