Omri Stephenson

Based in North London UK, Omri has worked as an illustrator, designer, cartoonist and writer for over 20 years.

Having gained a Masters degree in Computer Imaging and Animation at the London Guildhall University in 1996, he worked for computer games and production companies before setting up his own design and illustration company, specialising in digital art.

In early 2018 he gained a second Masters degree in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art at Anglia Ruskin University.

To date, he has written and illustrated over fifteen picture books and also collaborated with other writers including Lynne Reid Banks and Susie Freer.

Working in a variety of styles and media (including brush pens, collage and digital) Omri is happy to work on commissions as well as other illustrative projects for publishing, advertising and web design.

As well as many great illustrators and writers, Omri has found inspiration from everything from his own childhood spent in London to his many travel experiences and the things that he loves like art, nature, music - and life’s many brilliant adventures!
