Lauren Radley

I am Lauren, and I am a freelance illustrator who also runs my own business creating fun and whimsical prints, stationery and other lovely illustrated products.

I graduated from Kingston university in 2009 with a BA(hons) in Illustration and Animation, and have been lucky enough to be working freelance ever since (with a brief stint as a noodle waitress!).

Lauren Radley as a shop and brand was born five years ago when I began creating whimsical maps of places and cities I know and love. They received such an amazing response, that it led to the start of a business I now run together with my husband Emile.

Soon the range of designs and products grew, and I began putting my heart and soul into creating collections that I hope spread a little bit of love and magic into the lives of people of all ages.

Over the ten years I have been working as an illustrator, I have had the privilege of collaborating with some amazing clients and brands, including a three year project with the National Trust creating regional maps of their properties, Coffee Republic to create murals and branding for their outlets, and many many maps, drawings of food, and other editorial illustrations for a variety of different magazines and companies including The Telegraph, BBC Publishing, Coffee Republic, and The National Trust.
