New York State of Mind by Thaskart in Leeds

Hi, I'm an illustrator and designer based in Leeds, West Yorkshire. With a BA (Hons) in Illustration from Leeds Arts University and over two years of industry-level internships, I have developed a strong foundation in illustration and merchandise design. My work blends analog materials with digital tools like Photoshop, Illustrator, and Procreate, incorporating a wobbly, quirky aesthetic with bold personality. I have hands-on experience running my own clothing brand, managing everything from logo creation and packaging design to digital advertising. Additionally, I have collaborated with multiple companies on live briefs, such as Penguin Books and Grow Magazine and was recently commissioned to design a logo and typography for a new Thai restaurant in Leeds. Adaptability is at the core of my approach—I tailor my style to meet each project’s goals while maintaining high-quality standards under tight deadlines.
