She left to join the BBC in 1974 to work as a graphics assistant producing television titles and tv graphics. Leaving here in 1977, she joined Adverkit International to work as a lettering artist for the following three years. This is where she found her love of letters and typography and continued in this field working freelance for the next 15 years working for major publishing houses and advertising companies. In 1996 she started writing regular articles for the craft industry and soon found herself writing her first book on Glass Painting.
