About

UK-based experienced illustrator.

For over 15 years, I’ve been creating bold, playful artwork that helps make subjects like history, science and geography easier to understand and alot of fun! I love working closely with experts who know their stuff - helping them turn big ideas into engaging artwork.

Everything I create is hand drawn, often combining illustration with hand lettering.

Please visit my website for more information - lizkay.co.uk

If you reckon I could help bring your project to life - however big or small - please get in touch. I’d love to hear from you!
