Hi, I’m Zsuzsa, a creative illustrator and designer based in Cambridge. I balance Kickstarter projects with an Etsy shop and commissions, designing enamel pins, cards, and packaging for brands like Dishoom’s Permit Room and Wylde Sky brewing, and I’m always exploring new visual challenges. I hold an MA in Illustration & Book Arts and a BA in Illustration, with a track record across publishing, branding, and production design. I’m proactive, organized, and collaborative, with a love of storytelling and a keen eye for detail.
