Nicola Robson – Designer

I’m a UK-based children’s book author and illustrator specialising in expressive, story-driven picture book illustration.

I create warm, energetic artwork filled with movement, texture, and colour, bringing characters and stories to life in a way that invites young readers to linger, laugh, and imagine.

As both an author and illustrator, I understand visual storytelling, pacing, and how illustrations work across a full picture book, from cover to final spread.

I was diagnosed with autism and adhd as an adult and am especially passionate about stories that celebrate individuality, emotional understanding, and being yourself.

I offer cover design, full interior illustration, and book layout, and I love collaborating closely with authors and publishers to create books children truly connect with.
