It's lovely to meet you!
I'm Sophie...
I entered the professional world of illustration and graphic design over 15 years ago, when I was commissioned to create an album cover for a local indie band - my brother just so happened to be the frontman.
Since then, I've worked through the ranks at a leading men's fashion magazine, top illustration agency, and industry-leading marketing agency (so kudos to my brother for getting me my first gig).
However, it wasn't until my wedding that I truly fell in love with drawing again (I was absolutely besotted as a little girl).
I created all of my wedding stationery, signage, and illustrated mini portraits for each of my wedding guests as wedding favours. Within a few days, I began receiving requests from friends, family, and then further afield to create portraits for them and their families.
With growing interest, I decided to start Tiny Grey as a small side hustle to my job as an Art Director. Since then, I have made the leap to working at Tiny Grey full time and have developed a range of illustrated products, from family portraits and wedding stationery to business branding and picture books.
Over the years, I've been fortunate enough to illustrate for the BBC, NHS, The University of the Arts, and Sir Paul McCartney. Although, my absolute favourites are commissions from people who simply want something special that represent their loved ones.
Alongside Tiny Grey, I'm a wife, and mum to three young children, so spare time is a luxury these days. When I get time, I love hiking, teaching myself horology, and making things from loo roll with my children.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email me directly on the below details and I'd be happy to help.
