About

Hello, my name is Kate and I am an illustrator based in Brighton, UK. For the past 20 years I have specialised in creating hand lettering and illustration for book covers, packaging, advertising and many other applications, telling stories through the combination of intricate decorative detail and my distinctive typographic designs.

I love what I do and the diverse range of clients I am able to collaborate with, from big name brands to small independent publishers. I have worked on a wide range of projects - giant murals chocolate bars, HGVs, pingpong paddles and everything in between!

My clients include: Penguin Random House, John Lewis, Innocent, Diet Coke, Chronicle Books, Hachette, Waitrose, Cafe Direct, Marks and Spencers, YouTube, Barclays, Crate & Barrell, Victoria’s Secret and Harvey Nichols.

If you have a project in mind for me, I’d love to hear about it:
