Lisa M – Designer

Hello! I have over 30 years of experience in graphic design and illustration, creating vibrant, characterful designs. Over the past 19 years, as a freelance designer and illustrator, I’ve completed over 950 projects for more than 100 clients, showcasing my ability to adapt to diverse styles and creative visions.

My passion lies in illustrating children’s books, where I bring stories to life with enchanting, engaging artwork. I enjoy creating compelling characters and captivating visuals. Beyond illustration, I can support your book project, whether you need a cover design, book interior design, hand-lettering, typography, or promotional materials like social media assets or a website.

Why Work With Me?

• A Personal Touch: I believe in building strong relationships with my clients. We’ll work closely through online meetings, regular communication, and a clear schedule to ensure your book exceeds your expectations.

• I’ll guide you through each step to a beautifully finished book.

• Distinctive Style: My illustrations are infused with a love for nature, animals, travel, and mid-century history, making each project uniquely captivating.

• I’m known for being detail-oriented, deadline-friendly, and a clear communicator, ensuring a seamless creative journey.

A Little About Me

In my free time, you’ll find me exploring the great outdoors with my family and the fluffiest dog you’ve ever seen. I am also passionate about health, fitness, dancing, yoga, and workouts. Indoors, I love baking healthy treats, playing piano (or trying to), and creating art textiles and embroidery. I enjoy expanding my horizons through travel and language learning — including Mandarin. Based in Hertfordshire, UK, I’ve led my creative agency for over 19 years as the Chief Cake Eater, Designer, and Illustrator!
