2005-9 - Present · 21 yrs 1 mo

I have freelanced for a wide variety of publishers over the past 13 years - ranging from newspaper picture desks, book publishing, magazine and commercial publishing. However, in recent years, since moving out of London, the majority of my work has been for educational book publishers (Pearson Education, Raintree, Macmillan, Scholastic, Dorling Kindersley). I work mainly from home but am available for in-house work in and around Oxford.

I have started my own homewares company, designing lampshades, cushions and tableware - mainly for children. I am also working on a whole new range of products, including: aprons and kit bags, which I hope to launch in the coming months. I'm looking for new stockists and craft market opportunities. www.rebeccasodergren.co.uk
