Now Licensing: Illustration Work with Personality (and Plenty of Story)
I’m thrilled to officially say it — I’m open for licensing illustration work!
I’ve spent the last few years building collections that mix nostalgia, storytelling, and good design sense — think retro road-trip icons, landmark maps, and toile-inspired patterns with a modern twist. My work tends to find its way into tourism campaigns, product packaging, and editorial spreads, all with that playful, slightly vintage feel. If you’re looking for custom illustration work to license, I love partnering with brands who want art that feels both personal and collectible.
What Licensing Really Means
Licensing is a creative partnership—your story meets my illustration style.
You bring the product, project, or destination; I craft original artwork for it. You receive the rights to use the art for a defined purpose or timeframe, and I retain ownership so the work (and our collaboration) can grow with you.
It’s flexible, collaborative, and built around what you need — whether that’s custom art created for your brand or a licensed adaptation of an existing design.
Licensing works especially well for:
Retail and product lines – stationery, textiles, wall art, or packaging that needs a distinct voice.
Agencies and tourism boards – illustrated storytelling that captures the heart of a place.
Home décor and lifestyle brands – artwork that blends charm, wit, and character into everyday objects.
Why It Matters
When I create illustrations for licensing, they’re built around your story—not stock art. You get custom work crafted to fit your brand personality, and together we shape how and where it lives. It’s the most natural way to blend collaboration, storytelling, and design—art made just for you that’s ready to meet the world.
What You Can Expect
Distinct visual language tailored to your audience and product specs
Production-ready files (scalable vectors, organized layers, clear usage notes)
Thoughtful color & scale decisions for real-world manufacturing
Clear licensing terms (scope, territories, duration) that fit your needs
