Anise Love Thomas

Hi, I’m Anise! A graphic designer, illustrator and content creator, with a passion for vibrant, expressive design.
I create with purpose and intention, blending a range of design methods to bring my ideas to life. I specialise in editorial design, from magazines and book design to brand assets and posters.
And Yes, Print is not dead!

I love exploring different design techniques, print or digital. I also craft logos and brand identities, often incorporating illustration into my work. Beyond design, I create engaging content for social media, with a great eye for trends, aesthetics and audiences. Check out my social media content on my digital portfolio :)
