Your UK co-founder & educator ⬇️
Nice to meet you! I’m Helen...
…an educator, designer-illustrator, award-winning author and big child, based in West Yorkshire, England. I’m also a gold-level clumsy noggin who’s guaranteed to be the one who face-plants on entering that room.
We want the kids (and bunnies!) in our lives and yours to have a thriving future on this amazing planet. As well as a lifelong addict learner, I’m a big child, and so I can’t believe I get to play and illustrate books for a living!
As an ex-teacher/lecturer, I understand the pressure teachers and schools are constantly under and that climate change and sustainability is a HUGE intimidating topic to try and fit in on topp of everything else. I’m here to be your wingwoman and take the pressure off in any way I can.
