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 another book with Andrew.

I make handmade and illustrated greetings cards and also create them for specific special occasions. The cards are on sale in a local cafe and I make them for family and friends. A range of cards and other handmade products (such as bookmarks, door signs and canvases) are soon to be available to buy from this site.

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.

At a local pre-school group, I create craft activities for the children to take part in and I lead the session each week.

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