Hello, I’m Lou
I am a freelance conceptual illustrator with a focus on editorial and commercial work. My illustrations combine clear, thought-provoking, often witty ideas with a bold, colourful style. I enjoy exploring topics such as mental wellbeing, health, and opinion pieces. I sometimes animate my illustration as well.
In my free time, I mentor emerging creatives, helping them take their first steps into the industry.
