Hello! My name's Amy, and I work as an illustrator from my home studio in Yorkshire, England.
Originally from the Midlands, I fell in love with the North after completing my B.A. in Printed Textiles and Surface Pattern Design at Leeds Arts University. I later earned my Masters in Illustration from Falmouth University.
I love to create whimsical illustrations full of joyful characters by combining bright colours, textural mark making and playful patterns. As well as drawing I spend my time watching horror movies, visiting antique shops, playing video games and dreaming about adopting my first pup.
I’m currently represented by Advocate Art for art licensing and freelance illustration. I love to create designs for all sorts of products including greeting cards, stationery, homeware, puzzles and books. In the past I have worked with various brands such as Hallmark US/UK, American Greetings, Design Design US and WHSmith to name a few.
If you are interested in working with me please get in touch:

As well as creating illustrations for licensing and designing for clients I am also the owner and designer behind Happy Wolf.
Happy Wolf is where I produce playfully illustrated goods that can help spread love, smiles and silliness to the extra special people in your life. My product range currently consists of A6 Everyday and Christmas cards inspired by my love of retro kitsch and fanciful design.
Every product is designed by me and manufactured in the UK using the most sustainable options where possible. Find out more here:
