About me

Nice to see you, stranger!
I'm Monsie, a freelance illustrator based in Edinburgh, UK, specializing in editorial illustration, advertising artwork, character design & visual storytelling.

My work blends dynamic illustration with bold colors and playful lines, creating vibrant visual identities for both editorial and commercial projects. A central focus of my art is female empowerment, identity, and strong character-driven storytelling.
