Jennifer Hines

Illustrator and Lettering Artist

London, United Kingdom
Customized lettering and illustration gives an authentic flair to your message—no one else will have the same font or composition and custom graphics will make you stand out from your competitors! I've been working in illustration and graphic design for over 15 years and I love flexing a fun and whimsical spirit and sense of humor in my work—let me delight your audience!

I have a background in publishing and technical illustrations so can tackle prepping files for print and illustrating infographics, data, and complex subject matter.

My fine art background means I have a strong grasp for physical materials and texture, and I have a love for paper so can work digitally or by hand on pencil and paper, and use the computer and iPad in my workflow to keep things flexible for multiple uses.

I’ve been an avid drawer since I was a kid in single-digits AND I went to undergraduate and graduate school for art, creative writing, and art business. I got this.

I'm your smile artist, so hire me to add a bit of fun into your current projects and company messaging! Existing artworks are also available for licensing!
