Emily’s illustrations are drawn by hand with pencil, charcoal or ink – using a cute but quirky style, and coloured by hand, or digitally – with the occasional use of collage/scanned objects to add texture.

Emily has been working as an illustrator since graduation in 2004, where she was 'spotted' by Hallmark cards Plc at the New Designers exhibition in London. In 2005 she went freelance, trading as aptly as ‘Magic pencil’. Emily has since worked for many companies in the greetings card, jewellery, gift, publishing and packaging industries. She has a great relationship with her customers, providing a friendly, flexible and efficient service.
