37Impulse Arts&Culture
She’s the new girl on the block
I set up Leopards Lunch as a brand for my
illustrations in 2012, although I really didn’t
know what direction it would take at the time. I
picked up freelance work through contacts and
agencies and am now starting to produce my
own illustrated products to sell online
(www.leopardslunch.com) and
also at different boutiques and
markets in London.
She’s already made
waves
My career highlights
so far have been
the work I did
on Kopparberg’s
Eclectics range
- seeing my
illustrations
printed on the side
of their festival bar
at Field Day was
pretty awesome. I
also loved working
with nail artists H&H
Nails on their 2014
Lookbook, which was
displayed at their nail bar
at Paris Fashion Week.
She’s always had passion
I have always enjoyed drawing and was good at
art in school. My dad was an architect and is an
amazing illustrator so I think the arty gene was
passed down to me. Bizarrely, even though both
of my parents have jobs in the arts - my mum is
an opera singer - I didn’t really consider this as
a career for me when I was 17. I think that may
have been down to my school which was very
focused on the academic side of education.
She’s got ambition
My aim is to build the brand and
product range gradually - I am
working on my business plan
at the moment so it’s fairly
embryonic at this stage,
but my dream would be
to have my products
stocked in Liberty’s of
London.
She’s a grafter
Financially it has
been hard - I went
from a full-time job
to ad hoc work. Also
when I started, I did
a lot of free work to
build my portfolio
and get my name out
there. I have a part
time job which helps
me to pay the bills but
I’m just very lucky I have
an understanding husband
who supports me. For someone
like me who started later in life and
has still got so much to learn, it can be very
daunting. There is so much talent out there and
it can be hard to maintain confidence in
your own ability.
