About me

Louise Jenkins

Hello, I’m an illustrator, author and designer from Essex in the UK. In 2024, I graduated with a distinction from the Illustration MA at Falmouth University. Previously, I worked as a graphic designer for 11 years at a global branding agency in London, creating packaging design for all kinds of tasty food and drink brands.

I now focus on storytelling for children, and creating illustration full of emotion, playfulness, humour and curiosity. I love experimenting with a range of mixed media materials such as gouache, pencils and pastels, creating work full of handmade textures. I get inspiration from observational drawing, including my own small, magical, children.

I won my first illustration competition at age 7 with a wobbly drawing of my house. Since then, I’ve been selected and longlisted in international illustration awards such as BOit!, dPICTUS Unpublished Picturebook Showcase 7 and The World Illustration Awards.
