About Me



Hello! I am a freelance Illustrator based in Sheffield, South Yorkshire.

I love to draw pictures that make people smile - combining my commercial design experience with whimsical humour and quirky details. It was a dream come true when I got my first book illustration job a few years ago and I have since worked for a variety of publishers (please see my client list and testimonials below).


I started my illustration career in the greetings card industry, before eventually leaving employment to take my business full time in 2017. My days are spent illustrating for books, murals and personal commissions, as well as running my online shop. 


I studied BA (hons) Illustration at The University of Huddersfield and MA Children's Book Illustration at The University of Central Lancashire.


I am always excited to hear about new project ideas. You can email me at jd@josephinedellow.com or to view my portfolio, please visit www.josephinedellow.com.
