tame

Hi! I’m Rachel, an illustrator and print designer from the North East of Scotland, now based in East London.

I make character-led cards and prints inspired by women, shared experiences, and the small joys and frustrations of everyday life. Each design weaves together portraiture, pattern and soft painterly textures, balancing a sense of calm with a touch of humour.

I’ve loved drawing faces and figures since I was a child. After graduating in Fashion and Textile Design, I developed my practice in print and pattern design while rediscovering my passion for illustration. Today, expressive portraits and playful characters sit at the heart of every card and print I make.

I love creating pieces that feel relatable, playful and full of personality. Whether it’s a card for someone you love or a print for your own wall, I aim to make work that brings warmth, confidence and a little bit of silliness to everyday life!
