Evie Grace Caldwell

Evie is a freelance illustrator and designer who has supported clients that work in the
performing arts, music, food and drink industries. She had also worked with organisations in
the environmental sector to drive positive change.

She is passionate about creating socially conscious designs that tackle difficult topics, all
with her signature colourful, humorous and quirky style. An avid storyteller, Evie’s designs
have been featured by Royal Scottish Geographical Society, SHE Changes Climate, Stewart
Brewing , Purist Gin, Dornoch Distillery, Bramble Whisky Co, Caskshare ,Dance Base
Edinburgh, Creative Dundee and many more. Her work has been published in magazines
such as Featured by The Great Outdoors Magazine, Outdoor Swimmer and The
Geographer. Her approach is diverse and adaptable, ranging from simple stand-out designs
with plenty of white space to busy scenes with extensive detail.

Evie is a Scottish illustrator, designer and creative thinker who is passionate about
communicating important messages in an eye-catching way. If she isn’t creating beautiful
designs, you’ll probably find her campaigning for change, climbing a large hill or cold water
swimming. Evie is constantly inspired by her dad, who she describes as her hero, and
following in his footsteps, she works tirelessly to educate people about the environment,
climate and governmental bills.

Passionate about systemic change and environmental governance, Evie’s portfolio explores
bold, witty and honest concepts in a bright and colourful way - one of her most recognisable
pieces is her ‘Stand with Ukraine’ design that she allows people to download for free to use
in peaceful protests, to put in windows or share on social media as a sign of solidarity.

Taking inspiration from her own life experiences, travel and conversations as well as current
affairs, Evie tells stories through illustration. In addition to tackling hard-hitting themes, she
likes to create light-hearted, positive designs, including plants, food and drink, the realities of
navigating this strange world and what’s on the news. Her designs have been described as
“so eye-catching that looking is unavoidable.”

The Judges had this to say about Evie:
“This designer shows a variety of playful work. There is humour and something of herself in the subjects she has chosen to engage with. Environmental concerns can be dry, but this lightens the tone with a distinct style”
