Amberlee is an Illustrator, Lecturer and Mental Health Practitioner who lives by the expression ‘you can be more than one thing’. Based in London, UK, she currently teaches Masters level Psychology and Health Sciences at Regent and Undergraduate Illustration at the University of the Arts London.

Following postgraduate study in the UCL Division of Psychiatry, her career focuses on person-centred psychology, the role of social & racial justice in collaborative healthcare, and psychological safety in teaching & learning (which her current research explores). Previous research includes a published journal article on how the representation of black women in illustration impacts wellbeing and a feeling of belonging in creative spaces.

Of Jamaican heritage, she founded Line & Honey, an illustration studio focused on minimal, intentional design and the visibility of women of colour - through her work, she instigates conversations around representation, softness, and how we access rest. Most recently, she launched a beautifully illustrated wellness journal called The Duality Journal - a space for people to explore and lean into the many layers of their day-to-day experiences. She also illustrated the book Radical self-care, published by Quarto Books, and illustrated the cover art for Nubya Garcia’s jazz single ‘Lean in’.
