Hello there!

My name is Em Carolina Colville (she/they), and I'm a half-English & half-Portuguese illustrator and maker of things located in Cardiff.

 

​In July (2025) I graduated from the University of South Wales with a First Class Degree in Illustration, and since then I’ve been working as an administrator to pay the bills, but still creating artworks and illustrations for fun while I find my feet.

​​

My past clients include Code Ninjas Cardiff, the University of South Wales, Music Declares Emergency, Immersed Festival & Epileptic Lizards.

​

I tend to work digitally, using both Procreate and Photoshop, and specialise in children's book illustration, as well as writing. I also dabble in watercolour and gouache, and have completed a number of portraiture commissions and graphic designs for local businesses and bands.

​

I'm an avid enjoyer of watersports, like sailing, swimming and kayaking, (even though I hate the sea), and when I'm not in the water, you might find me curled up reading horror manga or listening to K-pop.
