From an early age Lisa Hunt (@lease_doodles ) developed a love for drawing and would stay up at night as late as possible scribbling in her sketchbooks. Fast forward to the present day, and she still stays up at night as late as possible scribbling in her sketchbooks.
When not at her desk, Lisa can usually be found in the local coffee shop happily eating carrot cake, or sat on the staircase at home waggling a bit of string at an over-excitable ginger cat. Clients include Ladybird Books, Oxford University Press, Pearson and Capstone Press.
