Procreate children’s illustrator

Hello there!

Hand-drawn outdoor mountain scene

I'm Lia, an illustrator and graphic designer

based in Wigan, Manchester.

 

I create hand drawn illustrations for publishing, editorial and purpose led brands, combining storytelling with thoughtful visual communication.

Drawing has always been such a big part of who I am. After studying art and design, I spent over 15 years as a graphic designer before pursuing illustration professionally alongside freelance design. Having this background and knowledge means I approach every project with creativity and strategic thinking, creating illustrations that communicate ideas with a purpose.

 

I'm passionate about working with publishers, editorial teams and conscious brands who want to make a positive impact in the world. Whether that’s encouraging sustainable or ethical choices, raising awareness or inspiring young readers, I really do love helping meaningful ideas connect with people through illustration.

If you're looking for thoughtful, hand crafted illustration backed by over

15 years of design experience, get in touch! I'd really love to hear about your project.

All my illustrations are drawn by hand, from the first sketch to the finished artwork. As AI-generated imagery becomes more common, I believe there's real value in artwork created by talented people, there’s so much more to producing art! I bring experience, design support and creativity that you simply can’t get from AI.
