Molly Maine is a British illustrator and Graphic Designer from London with over a decade of experience.
Molly graduated from University College Falmouth in 2008 with a BA Hons in Illustration (including a year at Nagoya University of Arts, Japan), and an MA in Creative Advertising - Art Direction. After graduating, Molly worked for three years at the Illustration Cupboard Gallery in London, curating and marketing illustration exhibitions for artists such as Judith Kerr, Chris Riddell, and Shaun Tan. She then went on to work for five years with Walker Books, marketing picture books for illustrators such as Chris Haughton, Jean Jullien, Oliver Jeffers, Carson Ellis, and Jon Klassen.
In 2016 Molly left her job at Walker Books to begin her journey as a freelance illustrator and designer. She joined the early wave of 'digital nomads' and began travelling the world with her Macbook and sketchbook, setting up her freelance design studio Molly Maine Creative from a small cafe in the Himalayas. Six years later, Molly has travelled to 48 countries and continues to run her studio remotely; her client list includes Penguin Random House, ASOS, Curzon Cinema, Simon & Schuster, and Netflix.
Molly currently works between Lisbon and London and has clients worldwide.
