Food Illustration

Working with Zoe to create the sustainable student cookbook was an absolute pleasure. Her talent as an illustrator and graphic designer brought the vision to life in ways we couldn't have imagined. Zoe's creativity, attention to detail, and collaborative approach made the process of creating the cookbook seamless and inspiring. She took the time to understand our visions for what it could include, whilst also coming up with a huge array of inspiring ideas for it. She delivered a beautiful and cohesive design that exceeded our expectations. Her professionalism and passion for her work were evident throughout the entire project. We highly recommend Zoe for any design work - she truly goes above and beyond to produce exceptional results.

I worked with Zoe and the student Sustainability Committee at UWE to develop this sustainable student cookbook as part of a student-led campaign that I supported at the University of the West of England (UWE). This campaign was called Sustainable Food for All and it won an award for the best campaign of the year at The Students’ Union Welfare Awards at UWE thanks to the hard work of passionate students like Zoe. We printed hundreds of the cookbooks and they are still being used for sustainable engagement activities with students at UWE, Zoe’s legacy lives on!

Food is my favourite thing to draw! Whether it’s a vegetable, a fully cooked meal, or simply a packaged product, the inspiration is endless. There are simply so many shapes, colours and textures to explore.  Most importantly, food illustration has the power to appeal to our senses, and spark our creativity to try new things. 

As a big foodie myself, I love illustrating food as a way of celebrating my favourite meals and passion for health and wellness. This can be seen in my project, Plant and Plate for the UWE Sustainability Committee, where I designed a sustainable student cookbook. This allowed me to explore this interest by illustrating recipes, and extending my designs to merchandise and posters. You can read more about this project here. 

I would love to embark on more food-based projects including packaging and menu design. If this is something you have in mind please get in touch. You can also purchase the posters featured below here.
