I’m Sara Hyde, an Edinburgh based Illustrator and Graphic Designer with a background in Fine Art. I work in traditional media as well as digital illustration, I'm proficient in Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, however I often start off with an inky pen and paintbrush before finishing off digitally. If speed is of the essence that's not a problem, I can produce work to tight deadlines with my trusty Wacom Cintiq! I’m open to children’s book illustration and editoral commissions. Even if you just need a small spot illustration for a flyer or website I’d love to hear from you and discuss how I can help with your project.
