Hey!
I'm Millie Harrison
A graphic designer, illustrator, and creative problem solver based in Wales who's also a huuuge nerd.
​
I want to use my skills for good; to help those in need and bring light to issues that we face in this big world. I approach every project with a fresh mind and give it my all. Trying out different approaches is a big fave of mine, and I love learning something new along the way!
On the side, I love illustrating as a hobby and run a small Etsy store selling my art. Outside of being creative I love watching films (any other Letterboxd aficionados out there?), reading and buying books - yes, they're two different hobbies, have way too many minutes on my Spotify Wrapped every year, and I can make a cracking brew if I do say so myself.
