“creativity takes courage” - Henri Matisse

hello

  • about me

    I’m Katie, a London-based illustrator with a love for storytelling and finding the magic in everyday life.

    I grew up around Kew Gardens, which has been a constant source of inspiration for me. I love creating illustrations that feel joyful, nostalgic and full of little details —the kind of scenes that invite you to pause, look a little closer and bring a smile to your face.

    I have a BA in graphic design and communication from Chelsea College of Art London and I spent time studying at The Fashion Institue of Technology in New York and lived in Amsterdam after my studies. I now share my time between London and Paris.

    I mainly work in pen, pencil and watercolours but am always exploring new techniques and ways of working.

    My work in the last year has been mainly focused on Wedding Design and love nothing more than creating bespoke personal work with details that are unique to each couple.

    I produce small prints and cards on top of this and am always on the look out for spaces at markets to sell my work.

    I’m a big believer in human connection and love meeting new people and different cultures. We have so much to learn in life and there’s no time to waste!

  • my office

    I’m lucky with what I do I can work all over but when I’m in London you’ll find me in my home office, where all the magic happens.

  • my dog

    Where I go I’m closely followed by my little dog who is a constant source of inspiration and regularly use him as my muse in my work.
