Hello, and thanks for stopping by! I’m an Edinburgh-based award-winning project Illustrator with over 10 years of experience working for a broad range of clients. My work covers a variety of approaches, from illustration commissions for print and web to collaborative projects and site-specific installations. As an illustrator, I enjoy delving into new subject areas and working closely with clients to develop artworks that educate and communicate ideas, tell stories and evoke a sense of place. In my personal work, I enjoy experimenting with new materials and processes such as mixed media collage, animation, laser cutting, and printmaking. These things then find their way back into my commissioned projects so the two feel nicely connected. 

For enquiries and commissions or just to say hello contact me by email: astridjaekel@gmail.com
