Oxford University Press partnered with us to design the ‘Hands On’ crew – a dynamic cast of characters for Circles, a series of educational classroom resources.

Through a process of thoughtful exploration and multiple design iterations, each character was finished with personality and purpose. Our Illustration Manager Laura Robjohns is an expert at delivering quality artwork with technical consistency, and ensured character design was diverse, unique and relatable to young learners engaging with the Circles brand.

“I was the lead illustrator and developed the characters from conception to their use in the full project. It can be rare to start right from the beginning and work closely with the client to develop their ideas into actual illustrations so this was a very enjoyable project to work on and I’m really thrilled at how the characters turned out. It was so much fun to play with their personalities and how they show them through their clothes and expressions.”
