Hello! My name is Louise and I'm a freelance illustrator and designer.
From a very young age, I would be up at the crack of dawn, drearily following behind my father who is a wildlife photographer. Between frosty Moores looking for nightjars or swamps chasing up snail kites, I had a unique insight into the natural world around me. These experiences have long served as muses within my work and I'm always looking for a new adventure.
After working in America, finishing my degree in Illustration, and balancing a list of part-time jobs, I can now be found in my studio, coffee in hand with country music playing as I chew over a new project.
My work covers a wide variety of subjects and I love to discuss any creative ventures so if you have an enquiry or just want to say 'hi!' drop me a line at:
