Hello.tif

I'm Robyn, a freelance designer and doodler currently based in Barnsley, South Yorkshire. I spend my days designing a variety of children's books, then by evening I illustrate the daily comings and goings of life with my old lady cat, Cleo, on my lap. 

I graduated from Teesside University in 2015 with a first class degree in Graphic Design, then went on to work in house for Little Tiger and Nosy Crow, designing various novelty, picture book and non-fiction titles, before pursuing a freelance career in 2023.

I am always interested in pursuing new creative opportunities, so if you think I might be a good fit for your project, do get in touch!

Clients include Nosy Crow, Townhouse Publishing, Ladybird Books, Dorling Kindersley, Bloomsbury and Quarto.
