About

Hi, I’m Lucy Watson, a graphic designer and illustrator with a love for illustration, book cover design, poster design, and storytelling through expressive visuals. I enjoy turning ideas into bold, clean visuals and collaborating with teams to deliver campaigns that look great and convey clear messages.

Based in the north of the UK, I’ve worked for agencies like Umpf PR and Waterside Creative, delivering branding, social content, posters, illustrations and campaign artwork for clients across various sectors, both public and private. When I’m not designing, I sketch scenes from daily life, paint pet portrait commisions through Etsy, and keep exploring new techniques in illustration and design.
