Hey there – welcome to Towards the Sunrise.
My name’s Fran and I’m a freelance graphic designer based in Manchester, England. I’m also a part-time MTh student with Edinburgh Theological Seminary.
I’ve spent the past eight years honing my design skills in the charity sector. I primarily work in Adobe Illustrator, with occasional ventures into Photoshop and InDesign. I’m currently working on projects for Affinity and Biblical Counselling UK (check out some of my recent BCUK projects here) as well as serving as trustee and administrator for 9:38. Take a look at my latest drawings here.
In my spare time, you’ll usually find me hiking in the nearby hills with my husband and our dog. I’m part of a local church and I also love reading fantasy fiction, learning Norwegian and playing board games.
The site’s name comes from the Bible’s Book of Numbers. In Numbers 3:38, ‘towards the sunrise’ is the location of Moses and Aaron’s meetings with God. My hope is that my drawing and writings will give you glimpses of the Lord Jesus.
