Hello, I'm Sam and I'm a freelance illustrator & surface pattern designer living in the lovely Ribble Valley in the UK with my husband and son. After studing Fine Art at University I spent twenty years working as an in-house designer at a greeting card company. Now I'm really happy to be freelancing. I'm inspired by everyday life, walking the dog, nature, watching the changes in the seasons. And I love a good rummage in a charity shop. In September 2020 I won first prize in the Templar Design & Illustration Awards in the Picture Book Catergory. I've designed cards and other paper products for many UK and international companies including Noel Tatt, Ling, Marks & Spencer, CCA Occasions, Crown Point Graphics and more. My artwork is mostly digital, created in Illustrator, Procreate and Photoshop. Have a look around and if you need an illustrator like me, don't hesitate to get in touch. I also like to print some of my own products, I have my own little range of cards and homeware which is available here. Please have a virtual wander around my shop! samrudddesign@gmail.com www.instagram.com/samrudddesign |
