She grew up in Wiltshire and is born in 1967. American children’s TV shows have been her influence. Used to work doing illustrations and writings for a lampshade company. She developed ‘Clarice Bean’ book round this this. She lives in North London. I think it’ interesting that her book images have, probably for the front cover, some handmade looking fonts and illustrations. These examples with texts are (from Google Search) have plain background, which would make sense that characters and messages are what the designer needed to communicate. Texture/Patterns within drawings do remind me of lampshade or interior design. Reference used- goodreads.com
