I'm Heather Ryerson, a London-based freelance book designer & illustrator.
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 highly illustrated books.
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
Of course, I do a bit of drawing and painting myself. If you’d like to see examples of children’s characters and editorial illustration, please feel free to visit my illustration website.
Growing my own veg, scouring car boot sales, exercising my citizenship, and dancing to jangly ’60s rock music occupy life’s other quiet moments.
