Character-rich custom illustration to draw out your brand’s personality & draw people in

Turning brand visuals into brand recognition

Research suggests the human brain 🧠 can process images up to 60,000 times faster than words.

Now that's quick.

Which means before someone even reads your carefully-crafted copy or learns what you do, they've already formed a pretty strong impression of your brand. Just like that 🫰

Luckily, having your brand’s own illustrations helps make that impression a mighty good one.

When a brand shows personality and warmth, it sparks delight. And that already puts you a million miles ahead of the generic stock photos and AI-generated graphics that all seem to be blending into one these days.

Whether you're refreshing an established brand or launching something totally new, custom illustration can help turn your story into something people don’t just see, but connect with.

Brand & website illustration

Cohesive illustrations that match your brand down to the tee are so much cooler than corny clip-art icons or the classic “team-of-overly-excited-professionals-giving-a-thumbs-up” photo. Brand illustrations tell a story about what you do, guide your audience, and just make your brand downright delightful.

You’ll get custom cool-bang-wow illustration that is:

  • Hard workin’ and good lookin’

    Great illustration isn't just decorative. It's built to earn its keep across your brand and everything in between, growing with your brand for years to come.

  • Human-made, the good ol’ way

    Every line is drawn with a loving dose of blood, sweat and tears. No shortcuts, no generic templates, and none of that robot nonsense.

  • Your one and onlies

    Every illustration is created specifically for your brand, from the first coffee-fuelled rough sketches all the way through to the finished artwork. They’re all yours to have and to hold!

  • Drawn to be remembered

    Strong branding gets noticed. Distinctive illustration sticks. It’s that something people remember you by long after they've come across your brand.

Hi, yes… this is Amy!

I’m the brand illustrator you go to when you want your brand to feel like a friend.

With so much same-same design and soulless AI graphics out there, I’m all about bringing back what’s missing: the human touch, a good dose of humour, and real connection so your brand feels like it’s made by a human, for other humans.

With over a decade of experience in the branding and illustration space, I’ve helped brands, big and small, from across the globe tell their story in a fun, cut-through-the-noise kinda way.
