Known as the 'quirky little designer', Sarah has over 15 years of professional experience as an illustrator and designer working with hundreds of clients far and wide! Drawing is not just her job. We're best known for our work on Children's Books. We can offer you the complete package from start to finish, and because we're big kids at heart, this allows us to create the books that children love!.
Sarah's re-branding of my business has given it a much needed fresh and quirky feel. She provided us with an extremely friendly courteous and efficient service and injected an energy into the project, that only Sarah could. Sarah was lovely to work with and keen to make sure that the illustrations were a perfect match for the story.
I have spent many years within the arts and media sector, primarily designing and teaching. Through this, I have gained a huge amount of experience by working with clients and students worldwide. Many people ask me what I like about illustration and design. For me, it's not work, it's pleasure! If I could wake up and do the same job every day, I would choose illustration!
I am so happy that I found Sarah to bring my book to life. Sarah took the time to listen and really made the effort to make sure that I was happy and her brilliant designs translated the words of my book into a beautiful visual story. Sarah has a great insight into how to best produce a children's book and is really helpful in getting you there!
I feel proud to have dedicated my book to my wonderful Dad/Grandpa, and once again, thank you both so much for your hard work and dedication. Sarah is a fantastic illustrator! It is nice to know I have worked with someone who is so professional at her job, and will certainly remember her for the future if I need another book illustrating.

I can't speak highly enough of Sarah! She has brought Roopert Snoopert to life in a way I could never have imagined. The illustrations are fantastic! Sarah keeps you update with progress from the draft stage right through to sign off. Anyone out there looking for a very talented illustrator?. Sarah's your lady!

The Elephants Trunk Ltd Review of the Happy Designer Sarah has been an integral part of our team in developing our launch book 'The Name That Blew Away'. During the design and development of the book, and website, Sarah proved to be a wealth of knowledge on what works for children with a unique capability of being able to gauge the content of the artworks and story from a child's perspective.
During the many meetings we had, over the development of the book, a team approach fell quickly into place with Sarah contributing to all aspects of the process. We found her to be very quick to respond to the artworks required for the Web pages, company logo, Avatar development, book layout and supporting artworks. New ideas for future projects were also a key part of these meetings with Sarah's bright and bubbly nature clearly showing through with fantastic ideas. Sarah is a very competent enthusiastic children's artist and graphic designer who brings a wealth of knowledge, talent and excitement to children's book development.
We hope to be working with Sarah for many years to come developing unique books for all children. Derek & Teresa Bellamy The Elephants Trunk Limited 'Personalised Children's books for all children'.
