Sarah Fountain – Designer

Hi there!

I have been professionally designing and illustrating for children since 2007, after completing a BA (hons) in Illustration in 2006 from Camberwell College of Arts. I have worked mainly in design for this time, including as an in-house children’s designer at companies including Pearson Education, John Brown Media and Redan Publishing. Now I do children’s design work for many companies, including leading publishers such as Dorling Kindersley and Arcturus.

For the last few years I have been doing more and more illustration work, and honestly, I love it. I always wanted to be like Beatrix Potter, and now, very often I feel that I am.

I run a small creative design agency on the North Shropshire, Wales border with my husband, Noel. We have two children and two cats, a lovely old house and a dog called Shadow.

We will work closely together, to ensure all the details of your project are delivered in the way you want, as well as being of the up-most trade standard. We will have video calls, regular check-ins and a schedule that everyone understands.

My knowledge of the children's publishing industry and its processes is vast, and I will help you navigate your journey from manuscript to finished, beautiful book!
