Hi, I'm Ellie Hewins, a creative illustrator and visual storyteller with a passion for bringing ideas to life through engaging imagery. I create and sell my own illustration work through a local gallery, and I also have experience in retail, social media management, and visual merchandising. I enjoy curating spaces and content that connect with people both online and in person. I’ve had the pleasure of collaborating with Settle Stories, creating illustrations for storytelling videos aimed at schools and families. Working closely with their team, I help bring stories to life through visuals that enhance learning and spark imaginations. Recently, I’ve been focused on developing my own distinctive approach to character and environment concept creation, blending creativity with a Cornish narrative to craft work that’s both meaningful and fun.
