I’m Anna!.. And I’m Here to Connect Through Illustration
Hello there!
I’m Anna, an illustrator specialising in maps, hand lettering, and digital collage. I have a passion for turning content into engaging visual stories and data into infographics; in print, on screen and on products.
By digitally blending vibrant colours, vintage textures, and hand-crafted lettering, I spark 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 maps and the door opened to my first solo jobs. I’ve since gained years of 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.
Clients I have Worked With
Take a look at my portfolio and see how I blend vintage textures , vibrant palettes and eclectic lettering to create illustrations that feel both timeless and fresh.
Words from Happy Collaborators
Lauren Atkinson-Smith – Deputy Art Director, National Geographic Traveller UK
Working with Anna was a dream, she always understood the brand and the brief, and produced carefully considered and beautifully illustrated work every issue. Her artwork was not only impactful enough to provide a beautiful visual introduction to the feature, but was also an informative reference map. I've got a real passion for Anna's handwritten type, too. I'm always looking for excuses to work with her again!

Brett Warnock – Publisher and Editor, Kitchen Table Magazine
Working with Anna was a real honor. Not only did her final work deliver as I was hoping it would, but the process was super fun, and exceeded expectations. As an art director, my main ask from an illustrator or storyteller is to be a good listener and then bring their own ideas and skills to realize a vision—collaborating with Anna is an editor/publisher's dream.
