About Susan Branigan 

As a young child I heard somewhere that if you could draw a perfect circle it meant you were a good artist… well I reckoned I was pretty good at circles, so I started drawing them non-stop, and measuring them with my brothers compass just to be sure…

 

Even now I still love to doodle with circles, I could draw them for hours. That’s really how my logo came about.

 

The circle seems to be a theme in my story. A sorry admin error cost me a place in art college in Dublin, so with nothing else in the planning, I took a job in sales. It had its advantages – broadened my horizons, I met fascinating people, learned to listen, it funded a marketing degree...  And I loved people and helping, so it was a positive experience.

 

Outside of work, I took course after course in all sorts of artwork. Later, having children trained me to draw and invent stories on demand; so, when one of my daughters decreed that I should make her a whole book of her favourite story, plus pictures, I thought why not? Around the same time, an amazing chance to study illustration at Edinburgh College was one of the great gifts of my life, and I feel I’ve come full circle.

​

So here I am – an illustrator, who loves storytelling, with a background in sales and marketing, ready to turn your vision into the perfect visual.
