Illustration has been a love of Klara’s ever since she was a child. The bedroom she shared with her sister had walls adorned with posters with fabulous illustrations and Klara was enraptured.

It was only when she was at art college that she realised Illustration was something you could do as a career. She then did a degree in illustration at Kingston University. Upon graduating she was lucky enough to land her dream job for a top UK greetings card company. There she worked as an in-house designer for over 15 years.

However, Klara was yearning for more and left to start a career as a freelance Illustrator and surface pattern designer. Since then she has worked for companies across the globe and is well known for her charming and beautiful illustrations and patterns. She has designed for children’s clothing, wallpaper, fabrics, greetings cards, children’s books, packaging and toys. Her clients include - Selfridges, Harrods, John Lewis, Waitrose, Penguin Books, The BBC, The British Museum, Tigerprint, Hallmark, Gallison, Marks and Spencer, Jojo Mama Bebe, Janod, Waterstones, Paperchase, Moonpig and Scribbler.

In 2023 Klara fulfilled a dream and published her greeting cards for wholesale. She nervously launched at her first trade show - Progressive Greetings Live which was a roaring success. She is now proud to have stockists throughout the UK with licensing deals in place in France, America and other countries.

Originally from Lancashire, Klara is now based in Surrey. She lives with her husband, daughter and mischievous cat. Most days she can be found in her studio happily drawing.

Klara is open to commissions, collaborations and licensing opportunities. Please GET IN TOUCH if you have a project you would like to discuss.
