Illustration

From book illustrations and surface pattern design, to product packaging, branded promotional collateral and editorial spreads for magazines and online publications, we offer a unique, tactile approach to illustration that makes people feel they can reach out and touch the artwork, which in turn forges more personal and authentic connections with your audience. Commission a hand-crafted illustration

Here's what our clients think

  • “We worked with Kit to create the collaboration of our dreams. From the first meeting, we knew we’d struck gold. We found someone who was approachable, reliable and who really cared about her craft. Kit thinks outside of the box every step of the way. She can transform a simple idea into something beyond your imagination. If you have the chance to work with Kit, do it!”

    Breana Phillips, Marketing Director, Hey Tiger Chocolate
  • “Kit was an absolute pleasure to work with on the concept for our Summer 2019 campaign. She worked to the brief and created a fun, colourful, quirky window for selected stores across the brand. Handling everything from start to finish, Kit made it easy to get this up and running in a very short amount of time. It's a busy time in retail in November and Kit helped make it a little bit easier by handling the sourcing of materials and installation of this window to ensure it looked exactly how we imagined. I look forward to working with her again!”

    CJ Campbell, Visual Merchandising Coordinator, Bailey Nelson
  • “Kitiya was a pleasure to work with installing a bright, playful and multi-layered response to our Melbourne Winter Masterpieces exhibition Disney: The Magic of Animation. Kit was incredibly thorough and professional,  providing two concepts with detailed drawings that facilitated swift approval among stakeholders. She was able to problem-solve and adjust her designs on the day of install and the result was a stunning celebration of shop product adding colour and vibrancy to our retail frontage. ”

    Anaya Latter, ACMI Brand Manager
