I'd love to hear about your project

The human experience is always Harriet’s primary focus. She’s obsessed with the inner workings of individuals and how that comes together into something we call humanity. All of the work she does is slowly digging deeper into the question of ‘Why are we?’. Rooted in compassion, relationships, and humour, Harriet creates for the people. Currently based in The Netherlands but born in Ireland, Harriet studied Visual Communication specialising in illustration at NCAD. She’s interested in commercial storytelling but during her downtime Harriet plays with experimental print and publishing, often working on a multitude of personal projects big and small. She thrives when she has a brief to react to, or a funny idea to expand to the max.
