I'm Laura and I'm a freelance illustrator. I completed a degree in Illustration at the University of Derby, graduating in 2008 and have since been working on various illustration projects. 'Originelle' is my company name.

I illustrated my first book which was published in summer 2008 - 'A Brilliant Life' by Andrew Cope, author of the bestselling 'Spy Dog' series for children. I have since worked on two other books with Andrew.

I illustrate and hand-make greetings cards, and create them on request for special occasions. The cards are on sale in a local cafe and I also make them for family and friends.

I have also created illustrations that have been made into a series of iPhone apps where users can use the images as their wallpapers etc. Around Christmas 2010, Apple put one of my apps, "Christmas Wallpapers" as one of their featured apps, gaining worldwide attention and a sharp increase in downloads.

Previously, I created craft activities for a local pre-school group. I led the session each week and the children took home what they had made.

My illustration style tends to be mostly cute designs and images aimed at children, but I make cards for any age and occasion.
