I’m Tilda Rae Lakin, a freelance graphic designer, illustrator and artist from Bath.

I’m intrigued by the abstract nature of the subtleties and sensitivities of life. When I create work I like to be intuitive, introspective and playful. Often I’m inspired by the simple things, the way a tree reflects on water, the vibrancy of the Indian textiles in my home or the unself-consciousness of a child’s drawing. I strive to create powerful atmosphere in my work using vivid colour, pattern and simple shape.  Instead of working on developing my own individual style, I like the aesthetic of each single project to emerge and guide the outcome.

I find purposeful expression when combining my passions for health, nature and poetry within my illustrative design. I am passionate about people’s connection with the planet and how the hidden and intricate intelligence of nature underlies everything in our lives.
