Hi hi hi! My name is Kerrie and I’m an illustrator/designer/creative based in County Down, Northern Ireland.

I work from my studio in the loveliest countryside town called Saintfield and you’ll usually find me working with Cassidy (a rather large cat) sitting by my side.

I love to create playful patterns, colourful illustrations and enjoy working in a variety of ways combining traditional and digital methods using my favourite- colouring pencils and vibrant gouache paints (a dream combo!) and of course my trusty iPad. I would describe my work as playful, light-hearted and joyful- I like to make people smile especially through creating cheerful and whimsical illustrations.

My work is heavily inspired by nature, nostalgic objects and the inspiring world around us- everyday life, travelling and people. Ever since I was younger I’ve been a massive collector of everything from stickers to small ornaments and this has followed me into my adult years! I have a real appreciation for objects of all kind and I love to create illustrations of obscure, mundane or interesting objects in my colourful and playful style. I am always searching for inspiration through being outside, visiting places, listening to conversations (woops) and just always being aware there is so much goodness everywhere!!

I have worked across a variety of very cool projects spanning from book illustrations, branding, patterns and public painting installations. I also do a lot of in person things (because I looove to talk) such as workshops, presentations for schools/organisations/universities and live illustrations for corporate/private events.

Alongside working for clients, I also create fun illustrated products where I sell across multiple platforms (through here, Etsy, NOTHS) and stock in independent shops across the UK, Europe and USA.
