I'm Heather Ryerson, a London-based freelance book designer & illustrator.
I’ve designed illustrated books with some of the most vibrant and innovative London publishers, including:
Profile Books
Little, Brown Book Group
Head of Zeus
Goldsmiths Press
Little Tiger
English Heritage
Post Wave
Wonderbly
Egmont (now Farshore)
Nobrow / Flying Eye Books
As a book designer, I’m happy to help out at any stage, from initial art direction to cover design to highly visual internal page layouts — and I’m especially interested in illustrated books for children and adults. Of course, I do a bit of drawing myself.
Growing my own veg, scouring car boot sales, exercising my citizenship, and dancing to jangly ’60s rock music occupy life’s other quiet moments.
