Matisse Howells

With a background in modelmaking, illustration, character design, graphic design and more, I proudly call myself an illustrative maker: someone who cannot only come up with concepts and stories but also bring them to life with physical craft!

At the heart of my work is a desire to help people and connect with audiences emotionally. I often explore real world topics through lighthearted, character-driven design, using humour and charm to engage and inform audiences of all ages. My recently obtained degree in modelmaking and my prop maker role at Aardman help me materialise practical solutions that are also imaginative, fun loving and bring a smile to people’s faces.
