About Me
Hi I'm Rosetta!
Illustrator, designer, mum to a toddler, and known as The Colourful Illustrator.
Based in my home studio in Exeter, Devon, I work with brands, organisations and non-profits, dreaming up colour-packed creative work that makes the fascinating things they deliver exciting to discover.
You can see my work showing up across the South West of England, nationally and worldwide.
I adore what I do. My philosophy which carries The Colourful Illustrator is creating an environment for others and myself where curiosity and creativity can grow. I believe curiosity sparks creativity and creativity sparks curiosity.
I've got your back
With a background in design and marketing, as well as counselling and psychology, I bring warmth, empathy and cheer into my client work and creative practice.
Here to support you
I love supporting values-based brands who put HEART and SOUL into what they put out.
My work spans brand identity & strategy, illustration, packaging design, surface pattern design, print and digital design.
I love the variety that each project brings and the unique ways we can use creativity and imagination to help your ideas, brand and business flourish.
The Colourful Illustrator is all about making your visual world fascinating, putting fizz and sparkle into each brand element, and finding fresh ways to bring fun and excitement into your brand.
What I do best
I specialise in working with brands who want their identity to feel expressive, original and full of character, inside and out. With a dash of imagination, a dollop of design finesse and sprinkle of fun, I serve up joyful design and illustration in my colourful and characterful statement style.
Why work with me?
I blend creative strategy, branding and illustration into one seamless offer, whether bespoke or one of my packages, in my colourful style.
I only work on projects which align with and excite me, so you know I'm invested in your project from the off.
What I create for you is original, expressive, and full of joyful detail, designed to connect, not just decorate.
You’ll walk away with confidence, clarity and visual tools that make growing your brand easier and frankly way more fun!
You really like my work and get a good vibe about how we'll work together!
Rosetta was brilliant; right from the get-go she got my vision. This was followed by brilliant work to create a great result. Thank you!

Rosetta's smiley disposition, her talent and abilities, her creative flair, work ethic, and commitment to not only producing the very best work, is also done with a huge smile on her face. Her talent and personality really sets her apart from so many others.

Thank you so much Rosetta, we are thrilled with the final copy. You took the seed of an idea and used your incredible talent and creativity to turn it into a masterpiece, it looks AMAZING!

I've had some help with my branding from the wonderful Rosetta. She's helped me enhance my branding and the homework I did to answer her queries made me realise I'd chosen some colours at random a year or two ago and never given them much thought. If you want some help, I'd get in touch. She's a superstar.

The best part was the excitement of my original brief leading to a quality design - one that I could never have envisaged. I love it when a designer surprises me!

My Background
I've been designing and supporting brands—studio side, in-house and now under my brand The Colourful Illustrator—for over 10 years.
My eclectic interests and varied education in art history, design, psychology and counselling allow me to approach my creative process, relationships and design outcomes with unique flair. I’m really proud of what I do through The Colourful Illustrator as I take great pride and enjoyment in the work I do and the people I get to work with.
Away from my desk you'll find me painting, drawing, crafting, hiking on Dartmoor, trying new food, watching interiors programmes, listening to food and design podcasts and most recently, raising my toddler!
