Hello all! My name is Sophie and I’m an illustrator from rural Essex rep’d by the Bright agency!
I’ve worked with Ladybird, Hachette, Scholastic to name a few! 📚
I love travelling, (I’m often known to fly in and out of a country in a single day) cooking, and tending to my plants!

A peak inside my process - from rough flow line thumbnail, to rough sketch, to neater sketch, to colour sketch, to polished spread! I love looking back at the original thumbnail and comparing it to the end result!

Scroll for some insight into the character design process for this project.
This was my first customisable book, so it needed lots of different options for personalisation, such as different hairstyles and clothing options.
