Hello! I'm Katherine, a Freelance Illustrator and Designer. For over a decade I have worked locally and internationally with design studios with a focus on brands, retail and more recently the arts and education. Some of these clients include Busy Bees Nurseries, Greene King, Seasalt Cornwall and University of Birmingham. I work from my Birmingham city centre studio (and sometimes home, with my cat Daisy~ pictured) I’m from Stourbridge, West Midlands and a graduate of the Arts University Bournemouth where I studied Illustration. Since graduating I have worked as a Designer & Illustrator within design agencies in Birmingham, working closely in a team and independently, to create campaigns for events and brands across advertising. With my design background I find myself working on an array of clients and often using type or lettering within my work as an Illustrator. I have more recently been working with brands on live events, these have included Harvey Nichols, Camden Town Brewery and LUSH. Alongside work I also help run a quarterly Birmingham Illustration meet-up called PICNIC, supported by The AOI with other Brummie illustrators, you can check us out on Instagram (@picnic_illo) and I’m part of a drawing collective called Digital Nomads (@digi_talnomads) where we share our travel sketches and digital drawing escapades.
