Lotta Nieminen is an illustrator and graphic designer from Finland. She has previously worked for fashion magazine Trendi, Pentagram and RoAndCo Studio, but now enjoys working as a freelancer. Her illustration clients include Hermès, New York Times, Volkswagen, United Airlines and Marks & Spencer. I like the way she plays with perspective in her work. She cleverly uses simple shapes that form intricate, striking visuals.

Born in Burma, Nila grew up in England and graduated from London’s Central St. Martins College of Art. Since then she’s been working as a freelance illustrator, with clients including Marks & Spencers, McDonald’s, Royal Mail and Paperchase. I love her sexy, minimal, colourful and fun illustrations, of which you can find plenty more on her website.

This year’s Marks & Spencer’s Halloween range of packaging will feature illustrations by Thomas Flintham, a London based illustrator. If you visit his website, take a look at his ‘About me’ page for a brilliant little comic strip! What an original way of putting down a short bio.
