Whilst studying for her Masters at the Royal College of Art, Laura won several awards including the Quentin Blake Award two years running, and the 2004 National Magazine Award. She also received the Uniqlo Fashion Illustration Award in both 2003 and 2004, which enabled her to travel to Shanghai and Tokyo. The drawings from her Tokyo trip were published in 2004 in a book entitled ‘Ten Days in Tokyo’.

Laura primarily works in her sketchbook, both on location and at her studio. A prolific drawer and painter, she has learnt to appreciate mistakes and understand the power of white space. Laura currently works in an advisory role with the development of Quentin Blake’s House of Illustration. She is also a regular visiting lecturer at the University for the Creative Arts at Maidstone.

In 2009 Laura was voted an ADC Young Gun, one of the 50 most influential creatives under 30 years of age.
