I cannot recommend Heidi enough. She listened to what we wanted and came up with more than we could have asked for. I’ve now used her on a few occasions and I wouldn’t use anyone else. Professional, approachable and full of ideas. More...

Heidi is a brilliant artist, and an absolute delight to work with. I have been able to commission a number of pieces from Design Cottage, some at the last minute, and the quality is second to none every time. Her attention to detail is always flawless, and no matter what we may ask of her - she always delivers. I couldn't recommend her highly enough - you will not be disappointed. More...

We were given a range of concept ideas to choose from, kept well informed of swift progress and delighted with the final artwork / finished product, which was delivered on time and on budget.

Design Cottage provided a superb solution to my challenging brief. I employed Design Cottage to produce a cover for a book on an abstract and complex theme, offering them only a very vague, initial conceptual description. They provided exceptional support and guidance throughout the process that lead to the final brilliantly realised finished product. Throughout, I was provided with exactly the level of guidance and direction I required to ensure I felt in control of all decisions and fully involved in the design process. There was rapid response at all stages from the design team to all my queries and requests, with regular updates and examples of the developing design. This resulted in a polished product that beautifully captured my initial goals and with which I feel proud to have my work associated. I would highly recommend Design Cottage to anyone looking for design solutions combined with exceptional levels of service at very competitive prices. More...

Describe your creative process.
Our passion is perfection and the ultimate goal is to create an end product that everyone is happy with. Each project is approached differently determined by the clients brief. We draw influences from current trends and old classics. Ideas are plentiful and prices reasonable. Contact us to discuss your needs, we're always happy to chat with our customers.
What information do you need from a client before you can start work?
To create a great end product we need a great brief, we will work with you to list your specific requirements, inspiration and ideas before any work is carried out.
What do you love most about your job?
My ultimate goal is to create great work that my clients are 100% happy with. I love creating something beautiful out of nothing :)
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have always loved drawing and creating artwork. During my design career I learned to communicate sometimes solely with visuals which is very freeing and fulfilling. I enjoy working with my customers and turning their ideas into physical pieces of art.
Why should our clients choose you?
We have a five star feedback rating and offer a satisfaction guarantee which means that you can be confident with our service every step of the way.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.

Book Cover and Illustrations
I like to work closely with my clients to reach the end result that everyone is happy with. Call me to discuss what you have in mind or drop me an email with your story outline and brief (if you have one).
Illustrate Almost Anything
I can work directly from digital photographs or a vague idea. You decide which medium I use depending on the result you want.
Pet Portrait
Pencil / Watercolour. I work best from good quality detailed photographs if you can get them.
Watercolour Commission
Favourite holiday spot, wedding venue, old house, new house, favourite vehicle... all make great personal gifts.
If you have a decent quality photograph you can leave the rest to me.
