Mia Tivey – Designer

I specialise in illustration for children aged 3-7. I create endearing characters using vibrant colour palettes, soft textures and detail.

Overview

I'm an illustrator specialising in picture books for children age 3-7. I create playful illustrations that are soft and full of texture, using fun and vibrant colour palettes. My work typically features cute and endearing characters that you just want to squish (in a good way!).

I have an extensive background illustrating and designing for children, having been immersed in the industry since graduating in 2013. I'm passionate about children's illustration, and I can't wait to work together and bring your project to life!

Mia and I are currently collaborating on a children's book. Her communication is excellent and she goes above-and-beyond to think about the story and design the illustrations. She puts in special touches that take the illustrations to the next level and has a great eye for balancing colors and textures. I am thoroughly enjoying working with her and was lucky to find her!
