Sophie Sandys
BA Illustration
As an illustrator specialising in children’s book illustration and cover design, I am passionate about creating stories that help children understand their emotions. I am driven by my passion for helping people with anxiety, as well as constantly developing new techniques to work with, and finding new ways to engage a younger audience.
With my successfully shortlisted entry to the Penguin Cover Design Awards, I would love to work in children’s publishing as part of a team creating innovative book covers, typography, and colour palettes. My illustration degree has developed my skills in Adobe software and attention to detail, especially within my children’s book work.
I am a resilient person with good experience working within teams, managing multiple projects simultaneously, pitching projects to clients and responding to criticism and feedback. I am always finding new ways to help develop my style!
