Hey! I’m Charley – a designer and illustrator based in Nottingham, UK.

With over ten years of experience in the creative industry, I’ve had the joy of working across a wide range of design disciplines, from branding and packaging to playful illustration and surface pattern design.

My work is full of colour, character, and charm, often featuring hand-drawn typography, on-trend patterns, and cheerful illustrations with a playful twist. Whether I'm bringing a brand to life, developing packaging, creating an illustration or dreaming up something completely new - I love creating designs that feel fresh, joyful and full of personality.

Now working full time as a freelance designer and illustrator, I collaborate with brands and businesses to bring ideas to life through characterful design - always with my little office cocker spaniel, Dexter, close by.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me decorating a cake for any possible occasion, or tackling my latest home DIY project!
