Jessica Cruickshank

Jessica Cruickshank is an award-winning illustrator and lettering artist with over ten years of experience. She is best known for her vibrant, thoughtfully hand-crafted book covers and skillful lettering.

Jess originally trained as a graphic designer and started her career working at a big advertising agency. From there, she became a freelance illustrator and since then, her work has appeared on book covers, in luxury department stores, in television commercials, on jigsaw puzzles, in a Christmas window, hand painted on a two-story-high wall, wrapped around toilet paper, adorning some really delicious bottles of gin, all over a zoo, above a highway, opposite a nude model on a motorbike and more. Her book cover work is consistently sought out by the world's biggest publishing houses, and has been awarded multiple times by the Australian Book Designers Association.

She is currently based in her hometown of Magandjin (Brisbane), but has also lived in Gadigal (Sydney), Turtle Island (Canada) and The Netherlands.
