Hi, I am an Illustrator and Animator based in London. I adore working with bright colours and creating visual diaries that might contain whatever comes to my brain or sketches of anything I find interesting whenever I go travelling. I also have an Etsy shop called EvieADesign where I sell some of my illustrations as stickers and art prints!
As you can see in my profile picture I have a particular interest in Japanese Kawaii which influences my work.
Projects
- From Trash to Treasure; Transformation of Flower PotsOne day my dad came home with five rough-looking flower pots a client wanted to throw away into a skip. He wanted to see what my thoughts were on adding them to our garden after we had just installed a new patio. I made this into my own project where I would have my parents have their own input on painting these pots white and have a bright colour scheme. I started drawing over pictures I took of the pots to test out what colour schemes would show off their designs beautifully and have feedback
- Germanic PatternsDuring my time abroad in Cologne, Germany I decided to use my time travelling to various cities across the country and visit Western European countries like Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg. While I was able to visit these places I sketched what I saw to create a visual diary. These patterns are based on these sketches where the first had drawings I made in Cologne and other nearby cities like Bonn. The second is of German cities further away such as Frankfurt. The third is of cities outs
- Doll WallpaperThis wallpaper I designed and printed is a collage of sketches I made during my visits to toy shops in Germany. My intention was to draw toys that are stereotypically targeted for girls as creepy, deformed, and zombie-like to provoke conversations about gendered marketing towards children. This wallpaper was exhibited during my time studying abroad at Muthesius Academy.
- Food AvalancheUsing VR I collaborated with another student to create a prototype of a digital installation that takes place in a supermarket. The objective of the installation is to pick up products and place them into a trolley. We wanted the message to be that we should question consumerism and its effects on us and the environment. This project was part of my Internship at the Koln International School of Design.
