Ginette Guiver
Illustration, graphic design and surface pattern design.
I am a freelance designer and illustrator from the green Oxfordshire countryside, a place for bike rides and riverside strolling.
Nature and landscapes are a constant theme in my work and I am interested in exploring our human connection with the natural world.
My favourite designs are beautiful, fun and also really useful. I am often inspired by vintage travel posters and analogue printing techniques, and find a connection with my audience through a combination of analogue and digital drawing, uplifting colour, and bold shapes and patterns.
Recently I completed my MA illustration degree at Falmouth University, my final project focused on promoting pathways to nature connection on a series of posters, combining design and illustration to spark positive conversations on the human and environmental benefits of connecting with nature.
I have lived, worked, explored and studied in amazing places like Aberystwyth in Wales; Brisbane, Australia; Dar es Salaam, Tanzania; The Dolomites in Italy; Whistler, Canada; and London, Bristol and Greater Manchester in England.

Designer and illustrator for hire
Have a look at my portfolio to see what I've been working on. I can bring loads of creativity and ideas to the design process, with attention to detail and flexibility, and a versatile illustration and pattern design style.
​
I enjoy working on illustration projects such as editorial illustration and book covers, advertising, marketing, branding and packaging, posters and installations, plus custom art prints and wedding stationery.
As a freelance graphic designer I can get involved in all kinds of design projects such as brochures, leaflets, posters, social media artwork, branding and logo designs, business cards, tshirt design, menus and wedding stationary.
I would love to see my surface designs and illustrations commissioned or licensed on fabric, apparel, t-shirts, homewares, wallpaper, cards and giftwrap. And anything else you can think of that needs to look fun and beautiful.
