Hi, I’m Daisy.
I’m an illustrator and designer living in Edinburgh. Previous clients include JACK ARTS SCOTLAND, Counterminers Theatre, Genesis Events, Sanitree, Trivor Farmhouse, Heavy Flow Events, Rusty Bike Club.
In my practice, I care about making designs that will brighten up the world a little, even if they only create a smile. Because of this, most of my work tends to be quite playful and occasionally humorous. I tend to focus on themes of narrative, female empowerment and finding joy in the everyday.
My work values a mixed media approach of traditional and digital methods of making. Printmaking is also hugely important to my practice; I love screenprinting and risograph printing.
