A little about me

I’m Hope — a UK-based illustrator with a love of colour, warmth, and stories told through pictures. I create work for brands, editorial clients, children’s publishers, and anyone who wants a little bit of joy in their project.

My style draws on hand-drawn texture and a playful palette, balancing detailed line work with bold, inviting compositions. I’m always up for something new — whether that’s a full campaign, a book cover, or a bespoke commission.
