hello!

I’m a freelance designer & illustrator and live in lovely Brighton, UK.

Hi, I’m Lila (pronounced Lee-la like in Futurama!). Originally from Hertfordshire, I studied fine art at uni but have worked in illustration and graphic design for over 12 years. Owing to being busy with client design work, I haven’t always had the luxury of time to create and sell my own artwork, especially as a single parent to a young child (which has not always been an easy ride!). Luckily he is now a little less hands on, so I am finally finding a little more time to indulge my creative passions… and am really enjoying it!

Here’s a bit more about what I get up to….

illustration

I am an experienced illustrator working in a variety of techniques from hand drawn to digital, to printmaking and more. I work for client commissions as well as undertake personal pieces which I sell in my shop. I love beautiful colour, pattern and nature in particular, and my work has been featured on greetings cards, packaging, wine related materials, social media campaigns, infographics, websites and more. I love to make things beautiful! I have recently been pursuing my love of mythology and archetypes through the zodiac designs and tarot designs I have been creating.

graphic design

I’ve been working as a professional graphic designer for over 12 years and love to craft high quality designs to ensure my clients get noticed for the right reasons. From packaging design to logos & branding, books, magazines, social media graphics, events, presentations and much more… I work closely with the UK and international wine industries, small businesses, the charity & voluntary sector, and creative industries. I particularly love working with luxury brands and products.

I work to ensure my clients are completely happy, and offer a personal approach combined with attention to detail and technical know-how. This ensures great end-results and maximises marketing potential. Read more >>

web design

I work with serious brands to generate a sophisticated website layout, look and feel, and can create additional graphics such as icons, illustrations, logos and banners that can be worked into your site…

…and everything else

My amazing little boy keeps me busy, and I love many things – from cooking, printmaking and interior design, to reading, walking and of course finding time to be creative wherever I can!
