About

Hi, I’m Jude Allen, a creative, reliable, and adaptable community arts practitioner with experience in administration, digital content design, client communication and basic bookkeeping. I regularly use Canva to produce high-quality graphics, presentations and workshop resources, and I am confident working across Microsoft Office and Google Workspace.

I’m seeking a part-time, office-based role where I can develop new skills, strengthen my existing administrative and digital abilities, and contribute positively to a collaborative team, alongside my established community arts practice.

I specialise in creating warm, expressive narrative illustrations that bring stories, concepts and personalities to life. My work has featured in independent magazines including Sobaka Fita (2025), Bits Magazine (2024), Little Living Room (2023), and Flinch Magazine (2022).

I combine a painterly, sketchbook-inspired style with strong visual storytelling, making my work ideal for editorial features, short fiction, poetry, campaign stories, and conceptual articles.

What I offer:
• Narrative illustration
• Editorial artwork
• Booklet & zine illustration
• Visual storytelling for campaigns
• Fast communication, professional delivery

Perfect for magazines, publishers, creative agencies, or storytellers needing engaging, characterful art.
