Hey there – welcome to Towards the Sunrise.
My name’s Fran and I’m a freelance graphic designer and writer based in Manchester, England. You can read my writing on my blog and buy my designs through my Shopify store. You can also commission a variety of bespoke pieces (for personal and commercial use) through my commissions page.
I’ve spent the past seven 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 as well as serving as trustee and administrator for 9:38.
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, trying new recipes 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.
