HOWDY! I’M MOESHA KELLAWAY
A FREELANCE ILLUSTRATOR BASED IN SOUTH LONDON
Represented by The Plum Agency
I’m an illustrator from Frome, with a huge love of the great outdoors, mushrooms and bugs!
Drawing inspiration from my childhood growing up in Somerset, my love of nature, people watching and exploring the outdoors; many of my illustrations contain a playful use of shapes, colours and characters - with a mix of detail, humour and often anthropomorphism.

Nice things clients have said
‘Mo’s style is both beautiful and engaging with a playful edge. Her love of the natural world is evident throughout her portfolio.
Moesha turned work around so quickly and was adaptable to the brief and the client’s needs.’
- Helen Horler, Culture Force
‘Moesha has worked with us on a number of projects for the FIFA World Cup and Vodafone, and she has truly demonstrated the ability to:
- work as part of a large creative team
- interpret sometimes scant briefs and evolve into a great piece of work
- deal with tight timelines and large workloads from multiple sources
- can stand in her own two feet
Moesha brings a sparkle of magic to everything she does. There is creativity and Moesha creativity, where her output always far surpasses our expectations.’
- Rhys Sion, Fision LTD
