Anna Simmons-Illustrator

Maps, Hand Lettering, Vintage Textures and Unique Digital Collage

Imagine sharing your story in a way that’s not just immediate, but also friendly and absorbing.

Allow Me!

I’m Anna, and whether I'm working with corporations, design groups, or publishers, my goal is to convey messages persuasively. I use my unique language of timeless visual cues—printed edges, vintage textures, and eclectic hand lettering—to connect with audiences on a deeply emotional level.

Seamlessly combining a human, handcrafted feel with digital collage techniques, I create visual solutions that adapt effortlessly to your project needs.

Connect with Your Audience Personally and Elevate Your Brand!

Send Your Ideal Audience an Illustration Invitation!

My illustrations convey information, express brand values, and establish visual identities. I’ll help you show (not just tell) your message with content that engages visually .

Plus, with illustrations that are meaningful as well as beautiful (I’m never not nerdy when it comes to researching the brief) your story will resonate with those customers who know that what's on the inside matters too.

I’m Anna!.. And I’m Here to Connect Through Illustration

Hello there!

I’m an illustrator, mapmaker, and hand letterer with a passion for turning content into engaging visual stories. Businesses, organisations, and publishers come to me when they want to connect with their audiences in a way that’s inviting and personable; in print, on screen and on products.

By digitally blending vibrant colours, vintage textures, and hand-crafted lettering, I ensure that each piece evokes a genuine connection with your audience.

My Journey

I began my professional life (after graduating in 2006) as an artwork studio assistant in London. It was there that I got hooked on lettering and mapmaking and the door opened to my first solo jobs. I’ve since gained years of hands-on experience, working with international clients illustrating across a myriad of mediums and scales - from tiny pin-badges to conference projections.

I’m now back in Wales where I grew up, living the mountain life with my cat Biddy (she agreed to quit the city too) and my gardener husband Andrew.

I love blending vintage textures, vibrant palettes, and eclectic lettering to create illustrations that feel both timeless and fresh. Curious to learn more about me and my illustration practice?
