From her hometown of Bridgend, Ocean combines creativity with her knack for business to deliver projects ranging from children’s books to custom ceramics.

Her latest creations for the books Archie, My Dinosaur Friend and It’s a Big World Bartholomew, published by Jellycat, showcase her talent for bringing stories to life and sparking children’s imaginations.

“One of the most impactful modules for me was Narrative Illustration, where I wrote and illustrated my own children’s book. My tutors guided me through every step, from research to creating a dummy book, which solidified my passion for the craft and confirmed my career direction. 

"The Marketing module was equally valuable, teaching me client outreach and self-promotion, skills as crucial as creativity in freelancing and one I still rely on today!”
