Hi, I’m Tilda

I’m a Canberra-based illustrator and designer who plays across a range of traditional and digital mediums in search of new colour combinations and unexpected textures. I love illustrating plants, animals and magical environments.

I won the 2023 CYA aspiring illustrator competition and was a finalist in the 2021 and 2022 New England Writer’s Centre illustration prize. I’ve undertaken work in science communication illustration and design for the Australian National Botanic Gardens and Questacon. I’m also a member of SCBWI. 

I’ve recently graduated from the Australian National University with a Bachelor or Design and Bachelor of Science (environmental).
