Hi I'm Charlotte, I create illustrations inspired by where I live in West London,
I launched my local print business in November 2015. I aim to make affordable art that celebrates where we live. I started by illustrating Ealing (my home) and have gradually added more areas of West London as my business has grown.
All my prints and products feature places not far from my home so they are all places I love & know well. I’m passionate about our unique corner of West London and capturing its rich architecture.
My work currently features:
ACTON ◆ BARNES ◆ BRENTFORD ◆ CHISWICK ◆ EALING ◆ FULHAM ◆ HAMMERSMITH ◆ HANWELL ◆ ISLEWORTH ◆ KEW ◆ RICHMOND ◆ TWICKENHAM.
You’ll find me & my work at lots of local events including ‘Green Days’ at Bedford Park Festival, Richmond May Fair and Kew Midsummer Fete to name a few. See my local events page for details of where I’ll be next.
Since All Original, the independent gift shop on Ealing Green, where I used to sell my work from closed in May 2023, I have been part of a collective of designers Home of Modern Makers helping to organise pop-up markets in the area. Please follow us on instagram to find out where we will be popping up next.
I occasionally work on commissions. Take a look at my Design Projects page for some of my recent commercial work or my Bespoke Page for some examples of private illustrations.
I have a BA(hons) degree in graphic design & illustration from Bath Spa University.
If you have any questions please don't hesitate to email me at [email protected] and I'll be happy to help you.
PLEASE NOTE: ALL MY PRODUCTS ARE PRINTED IN THE UK

Career Background
I spent many years as an Art Director in the high paced magazine industry. My publishing career saw me launch and redesign many influential UK magazines (Marie Claire, FHM, heat, New Woman, Look & Instyle to name just a few) and win many industry awards.
My last full time role was my dream job, I was as the Creative Director of Marie Claire UK. I absolutely loved it, but after 4 years in this high pressure role, I took some time out to deal with a health issue and decided I didn't want to go back.
As an Art Director in media publishing you don’t just design the magazine but act as the main "brand-guardian" of the title, therefore responsible for pretty much anything that carries the logo, from invitations & awards to books & branded products. I therefore have a very wide & varied design capability.

I support the campaign
This fabulous campaign has been created to encourage people to buy from Designers, Makers, Independent Galleries & Shops. All purchases, however small, even 'JUST A CARD' are so vital to the prosperity & survival of small businesses.
When you buy from a designer/maker, know that each item has been created with "love" ... but love doesn't pay the bills! Please join the campaign and support your local community.
