Artwork that tells your story (without saying a single word!)
Custom, hand-drawn illustration for campaigns, publishing, products and brand projects, designed to draw attention and give your ideas an impossible-to-ignore visual voice.
Goodbye stock imagery and seen-it-before graphics
You know the feeling when a visual just fits a brand perfectly.
It sets the tone.
It tells a story without needing many words.
It makes people pause, look closer, and feel something.
Magic, right?!
Whether you’re working on a campaign, publication, product, or launch, the visuals you choose matter.
You don’t want something generic.
You don’t want something that could belong to just anyone.
And you need someone who can take a brief, understand what you’re trying to say, and translate it into something distinctive and on-brand, without needing constant direction.
That’s where I come in.
I work with brands, agencies and publishers to create original, hand-drawn artwork shaped around the story they’re trying to tell and the feeling they want people to walk away with.
“I've worked with Linda twice to commission an original piece of artwork for the Irish Examiner's Weekend magazine. She is a joy to work with and supremely talented. Works were completed to strict timelines, and we were delighted with both. Couldn't recommend her more.”
Nicole, Irish Examiner
How it works
From the sketchbook to my drawing board
Working on a brand project usually means a lot of moving parts; briefs, deadlines, feedback rounds, tweaks, approvals. It can feel like a lot!
My job is to make the illustration side feel seamless and (dare I say it) enjoyable for your team.
Here’s how we make that happen:
The brief
You share the idea, the context, the timeline, and the goals. I’m used to collaborating with brands, agencies, editors and marketing teams, and quickly getting to grips with what you need and where the artwork fits.The direction
I begin with early concepts to explore the look and feel. This is where we shape the tone, play with ideas, and make sure everything is heading in the right direction before committing to the final piece.The illustration
Once we land on the direction, my pens come out to play. This is where the illustration really takes shape, layered with detail, colour and brand character.The handover (and happy dance!)
You receive your finalised custom brand artwork ready to use across your campaign, publication or project..

Meet your artist
Hi, I’m Linda. I’ve worked with brands, agencies, publishers and organisations across Ireland on everything from campaign visuals and editorial features to concept artwork and creative projects.
My style is expressive, inky and full of character. Think: loose lines, playful little details, and a hand-drawn feel that gives each piece real personality. No two projects ever look the same, because each one is shaped around the story it’s there to tell.
Alison, The Publicity Loft
“Worked with Linda on many brand events- always a pleasure to deal with and a favourite among guests. Would recommend her for any event.”

Artwork - FAQ
-
I create artwork for a mix of projects; campaigns, editorial features, publishing, product launches, packaging, events and brand storytelling. If it needs illustration and a clear idea behind it, I’m always happy to take a look and see if I’m the right fit.
-
A clear brief is always a great starting point, but you don’t need to have every detail figured out. I’m used to stepping into projects at different stages, sometimes it’s fully mapped out, sometimes it’s just a strong idea and a deadline. We’ll shape it together from there.
-
Yes, absolutely. I’m used to working with brand guidelines, colour palettes and existing visual identities. My style stays recognisable, but the artwork is always shaped to sit comfortably alongside the rest of your brand, not compete with it.
-
It really depends on what we’re creating and how detailed it needs to be. Some pieces come together quickly, others take a bit more time to get just right. I’ll always be upfront about timings from the start, so you always know what to expect and when.
-
All the time. I regularly collaborate with creative agencies, editors, marketing teams and in-house designers, and I’m comfortable working as part of a wider project with shared deadlines and feedback rounds.
-
That’s more common than you’d think. Some of the best projects start with a rough idea scribbled in the margin. We can talk it through, explore what might work, and shape it into something that feels right for the brand.
-
Easy! Fill in my booking form with a few details about your project including what you’re working on, any timelines, and what you have in mind. I’ll take it from there.
