Hello there, I'm Lia, a UK-based illustrator and designer specialising in narrative illustration. I create thoughtful, story-led artwork that brings ideas, emotions and characters to life. With a background in graphic design, I understand how illustration needs to do more than look beautiful, it also needs to communicate, engage audiences and support a wider message. My work is driven by storytelling, whether that's creating a striking book cover, an editorial illustration that captures a complex idea, or visual assets for brands and campaigns. I enjoy finding creative ways to communicate concepts through imagery, combining atmosphere, character and detail to create illustrations that feel both engaging and meaningful. Alongside illustration, my 15 years experience in design gives me a strong understanding of composition, branding and real-world application, allowing me to create work that is not only visually appealing but purposeful and effective. I'm available for publishing, editorial, advertising, packaging and commercial illustration projects, and love collaborating with clients to bring their stories and ideas to life.…Hello there, I'm Lia, a UK-based illustrator and designer specialising in narrative illustration.
