About me

I am a Norwich based Illustrator that works across disciplines, from hand drawn images and typography, to collage and digital media. I enjoy adapting my work to meet the needs of the brief and audience, and believe in the strength of visual language to communicate a powerful message. I am experienced using Adobe suites to create high quality images for print and have worked on a commercial basis for local bands and event promotors which I am extremely passionate about, however I am keen to explore new applications for my work through publishing and editorial work. Please feel free to contact me with any enquiries regarding my portfolio: heather.illustration@gmail.com Thank you!

• Hey! I just finished my degree in Illustration and am looking to join a team of creatives or gain industry experience as a Junior designer.

Projects

• We Stand Together for BLMI made this print as part of an initiative to raise money for a charity in support of the recent BLM resurgence. I think it's important to use art to illustrate the importance of particular messages like this, and I hope through my work I can spread more acceptance and more hope for a better and equal future for the BAME community. This is an on going project and will be announced shortly (July 2020)
• ‘Snakes and Property Ladders’ Editorial DesignI wanted to create an eye catching response to the housing crisis; comparing the innocently care-free childhood game to the worries we face growing up to unaffordable housing and rental prices.

  Positive Illustrated PostersDesigning posters with hand drawn typography and imagery is one of my biggest passions. These are some that I created during that were intended to spread positive social messages with relevance to the current political and social climates. I would like to make some on a larger scale for events and festivals!
