Custom Illustration
for Your Business

Your brand deserves more than stock images. A charming custom illustration adds personality so right through from packaging to postcards, your business personality is added in every touch.

Each custom illustration created by me is hand-drawn in ink and watercolour, designed to add a touch of whimsy, completely unique to you.

Little Cake Co – Bespoke Packaging Artwork

Mariella wanted packaging that reflected the joy of her cakes. She swapped out generic stock images for custom illustrations full of playful detail and a cohesive, high-end look. Now her packaging feels as special as the treats inside.

Branded Birthday Cards

Made by Me Craft Parties

Lexi commissioned a custom illustration featuring her logo and party crafts. I designed and printed branded birthday cards that her clients now treasure.

“I'm so pleased with the bespoke birthday cards Kat designed for my craft party business. My business is built on attention to detail and beautiful craft activities, so it was important for me to have a special birthday card to reflect that.

From start to finish Kat listened to my design brief and patiently tweaked the illustration until I was happy with it. The result is a beautiful and unique card to give to my customers, who are always thrilled by the delightful design and cute details. Thank you Kat! “

The Dispatch – Hand-Drawn Podcast Icon

When The Dispatch needed something with wit and character, I created a custom ink drawing inspired by traditional political illustrations. The hand-drawn details made their podcast instantly recognisable and far more authentic than AI artwork.

Drawing of people in animal costumes, including a woman in a penguin costume lying on her back, a person in an otter costume sitting cross-legged, and a person in a sheep costume sitting with legs extended. The artist is adding detail to the person in the sheep costume.

Reading Ladders – Educational Illustrations

For a children’s literacy charity, I designed a set of yoga-inspired animal custom illustrations to make spelling activities more engaging. The characters brought learning to life in a fun, inclusive way.
