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
- Miniature Dachshund Looking out the Window IllustrationsThis was a series of illustrations inspired by my sister's miniature Dachshund, who has a cute habit of sitting on his cushion by the window to look outside.

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.
