Hey there, nice to meet you!
I’m Emily, a freelance Senior Concept Artist/Illustrator based in London.
I pride myself in being highly organised and have a lifelong passion for exploring storytelling through narrative, unique character design and rich world building. I convey meaning using bright colours, lots of personality and a touch of humour!
I've been creating work across the video game and entertainment industries for over a decade (7 years in-house). Recently branching out to include illustrating and authoring children's books and vis dev for animation. I strive to communicate my ideas through the limitless lens of wonder and imagination!
Clients Include: Disney - Dlala Studios, Activision/Blizzard - King, Studio Drydock, 2UP Games, Sony GSN and several more.
