“Working with Colleen is such a fun, energetic experience, and I am beyond thrilled with the final illustrations. Colleen’s professional, but accessible and friendly, and she knows what she’s doing! So imaginative and—a big plus I haven’t said earlier, prompt!”
We’ll hop on a call and get clear on your goals. Together we’ll define the concept of the illustration, the style and colors we want to work with.
Every project is different, but our exploration phase often includes moodboards, concept sketches, color palettes... all to ensure that we’re visually aligned.
The best part! This is where we share our final selected designs in their full color glory. Once approved, I’ll prep the files so they’re ready for the next step — whether that’s online or to a printer.
I’m Colleen Tracey, a Chicago-based digital illustrator, designer, and professional plant-killer who compensates by incorporating nature-inspired motifs in my work. For years, I’ve created custom illustrations and built visual brand identities aimed to help ethical and sustainable businesses grow and charm the pants off their customers.
By incorporating ethical practices into my business, I encourage clients to embrace more eco-friendly production methods like reusing materials, and ordering more precise quantities to reduce waste and carbon footprint.
In my off-hours, you’ll likely find me watching reruns of Buffy, alternatively caring for and neglecting my houseplants, testing out plant-based recipes, or recording episodes of my podcast EcoSassy.
Like minimalist color palettes? Sustainability? Sass? You’ll probably dig my designs. Reach out with sad plant memes or say aloe to me on my Instagram!
“We love our illustrations SO MUCH and still use them all the time in our branding! Thank you for being so thoughtful and fun with your creations.”
