She is currently working on two illustrated books slated for publication with Penguin Random House and Hachette Books in 2026.
This week’s newsletter looks at the wonder of hand lettering and the way it becomes part of the visual voice, shaping the mood and helping communicate emotion before a single word is even processed. We explore all forms of artist-made typography through the work of Meilo So, Paul Rogers, Hanoch Piven and this exquisite work by Lisa Perrin. Why not take a look?
