Hello & Welcome!

I’m Holly, a professional illustrator working internationally since 2008. I began my career with AVA Publishing (now Bloomsbury), creating fashion illustrations for Fashion Drawing by John Hopkins, and have since collaborated with magazines, fashion brands, museums, and private clients.

In 2022, I expanded into surface pattern design, exploring narrative, rhythm, and form through repeat print.

My work is rooted in observation, drawing inspiration from nature, literature, and quiet, everyday moments.

I live and work in the UK with my husband, our cat Penny and our rescue dog Michael.

I take a considered, collaborative approach to every project, creating work that feels both refined and personal.
