hi, i'm katy!

An Illustrator and Art Department Assistant/Prop Maker based in Kent. 

illustration

I use my playful style to help explain concepts with a naive clarity. Combining hand-made textures and collage with digital manipulation, I love to create joyful and expressive worlds. My illustrations have found place commercially within editorial, publishing, TV and charity/non-for-profit, but I'm open to all kinds of projects.

I'm an industrious and well-rounded creative with experience designing visuals, art, graphics, props and assisting on shows for Netflix, Channel 4, SkyKids, CBeebies, CITV and NBC Peacock. I'm looking to explore new genres & bring a fresh energy to exciting art departments.

In my spare time, you can find me giving talks and running workshops for universities & creative events.

testimonials 

"It was brilliant working with Katy for The Happy Newspaper. Not only were her illustrations delivered in a timely manner, but she was a joy to communicate with and her illustrations speak for themselves. I keep noticing new details in the crowd scene she created for us and I will come back to enjoy it time and time again." - Zabby Allen, The Happy Newspaper

"I have worked with Katy on a number of projects including editorial and book illustrations. Her playful style contains a rich quality that also brings gravitas to the subject. Working with Katy is easy and enjoyable. She's quick to understand each commission and provides brilliant sketch ideas. She takes on feedback effortlessly and her final artwork is of the best quality. In one succinct sentence — she is a delight to work with."

- Cathy McKinnon, Oh Magazine / Summerhill Trust

"Katy's a real pleasure to work with. Hugely creative, her unique artwork and attention to detail is second to none. On the studio floor Katy is sharp and takes the pressure of TV production in her stride, always with a smile. Thoroughly recommend." - Nic Ayling, Executive Producer at Terrific Television
