…the portfolio of illustrator & designer Simon Whittaker. I have over 15 years commercial experience, designing and producing work for print, digital/web and motion/video projects.

The majority of my work is character-based vector illustration, but it also encompasses hand-drawn lettering, making maps, logo design & branding and much more besides. I'm based in Scarborough, North Yorkshire (UK), though location isn't a barrier – I’ve worked with clients all over the UK and further afield.

From business cards to 90+ page annual reports, exhibition displays to digital dashboards – over the years I've developed strong skills in typography and layout, and an appreciation of a well-crafted grid. As well as my digital skills, I like to get away from the screen when possible to create mockups, scrawl on walls and experiment with different tools and processes.

I'm currently available for projects, collaborations and commissions, so if you're looking to hire an illustrator or designer for a project, please get in touch for a chat, request a quote or sign-up to the mailing list to get updates on what's happening and when.

Past clients include:

Askew Brook, CU Scarborough, Avtel, National Literacy Trust, Welbeck Publishing, Yu Magazine, Ginger Wildheart, pndu.org, Stephen Joseph Theatre Outreach, Beverley Literature Festival, Artwaves Festival, Electric Angel, Sneakytrick.
