Hi! I'm Anna.

​

I’m an experienced Illustrator and Designer, having studied Graphic Design and Illustration in both the UK and the USA. I’ve spent over 13 years working across publishing and illustration, and I love a job that sits at the intersection of thinking, drawing, and storytelling.

​

I’ve been lucky to work at and with some of the UK’s largest publishing houses, creating cover artwork for authors including Jodi Picoult, David Mitchell, and Kate Sawyer. Alongside adult and children’s publishing, I’ve illustrated the middle grade novel series The Playdate Adventure Club with author Emma Beswetherick.

​

I’ve always loved the challenge of turning big, sometimes messy ideas into visuals that make sense straight away. That way of thinking started with book covers, but it now shapes all of my illustration work — whether I’m scribing, creating murals, or working on broader illustration projects, my focus is always on clarity, warmth, and impact.

​

As a Creative, I pride myself on being organised, efficient, flexible, and just a nice person to work with. I’d love to hear from you and I’m always happy to chat about a project — big or small, illustrated, scribed, book-shaped or otherwise. Say hello!
