About me

Hello there!

I'm Ele, the doodle-loving, tea-sipping children's illustrator and designer based in the heart of Ireland. Dublin stole my heart about a decade ago, and ever since, I've been on a creative rollercoaster.

From doodling as a kiddo to diving into the digital design world, I realised I missed the magic of hand-drawn art. So, here I am, embracing the whimsy of illustration. I've got a soft spot for all things cute and cuddly, and you'll find that sweetness in every piece I create. I've gone all-in on the digital scene, collecting more brushes than I probably need (oops!), but hey, it's all about experimenting! I love to add subtle textures and noise to give my work that extra oomph. Currently, my world is filled with prints, greetings cards, and a secret book project in the works. When I'm not lost in the creative abyss, you'll catch me cozied up with cups of tea, sharing stories and scribbles with my little ones.
