Hi 👋 I'm Ellie and I'm an Illustrator.

I'm a UK based Illustrator and Designer, who's passionate about storytelling, accessibility, and bringing new ideas to life. I specialise in children's illustration and have a background in education, user experience and accessibility. My journey as an illustrator is fuelled by my experience in the classroom, where I learned how to create illustrations that are not only enchanting but also educational and accessible. My experience in user experience design further enhances my ability to tell stories that are intuitive and inclusive for all.
