About me
Hello, I'm Emma Valenghi of Out Of The Garden Shed Studios. I am a freelance illustrator based in the East Riding of Yorkshire - in my garden shed studio! Prior to being a freelance illustrator I worked in house as a designer at Paperdove, Hallmark and Moonpig and have since added UKGreetings, American Greetings, Card Factory, Colour Heros, Highlights and Jellycats to my list of clients as well as many smaller companies and individuals.
I am a versatile designer, with my work having expanded from greetings cards to children's illustration, character design, surface pattern, and even the occasional large scale mural! My designs have appeared in high-street stores such as Paperchase, M&S, Next, John Lewis, and most leading supermarkets. I have recently illustrated a children's short story for Highlights - High Five Magazine and am currently illustrating a picture book for Jellycat London.
I love creating little worlds and hope my illustrations tell a story and inspire imagination. I'm a fan of LOTS of texture and layers and am partial to a spot of hand lettering.
