I'm Beatrix Hatcher, an independent illustrator and designer based in Edinburgh, Scotland. 

Drawing inspiration from modernist thinking and graphic design, I balance structure with spontaneity through bold, geometric compositions and a confident use of colour and texture. I approach each project with care and clarity, making thoughtful decisions at every stage to translate complex ideas into a distinctive, playful visual language.

My work spans publishing, branding, animation and editorial, with a focus on projects that communicate ideas clearly and creatively. I’ve illustrated both fiction and non-fiction books for children, including the Waterstones Prize-shortlisted I Am Not A Prince (Hachette Children’s) and two titles for Usborne; See Inside AI and Space for Beginners.

When I’m not at my desk, you'll likely find me rummaging through charity shops for Hornsea pottery, getting stuck into a craft project, or hiking through the Scottish hills.

Feel free to enquire about a project or just to say hello!
