Marion Deuchars

Towards the back end of the summer a few of us spent the day wandering around London, mainly Dalston, Shoreditch and Old Street talking to designers and illustrators as part of London Design Week. It was really engaging and as an opportunity to get into a variety of differing studios well worth it.

The highlight, beforehand for me, was the chance to meet Marion Deuchars and to be fair she didn't let me down. Her style is free and open, just what a great illustrator should be and while it's very much replicated I love it.

I thought we'd get ten minutes, but she gave us a good hour of her time, discussing her career, how she got started, ambitions and her working process, in and out of various design collectives. All in all she was pretty inspiring.
