Debs Lim — Lifestyle & Book Cover Illustrator, Australia

From book covers to editorial, packaging and lifestyle imagery, Debs Lim is a versatile artist producing work that is as vibrant as it is imaginative. The images she creates are clear and graphic thanks to her background in graphic design but have a charmingly tactile quality to them which engages viewers with her clients’ brands.

Based in Brisbane, Australia, Debs is enthusiastic, organised and deadline-oriented, and clients love her friendly yet conscientious approach. She loves to draw and make things, and grew up in a creative household influenced by her art director father and copywriting mother. Debs has a Diploma in Fashion Design and Technology from TAFE Queensland, and a bachelor’s degree in Graphic Design from SAE Institute.

Approach

Procreate is Debs’ tool of choice, sketching her images and then using the pencil brushes to generate a textured handmade finish.
