Lillian Cutts was born and bred in New Zealand and is now a graphic designer and illustrator based in Melbourne. After a year of Visual Communication at Masey University, she transferred to RMIT and graduated with a Bachelor of Communication Design. She uses a hands on approach in all of her works and enjoys working in many different mediums. Her best friend is a little black sketch book and a fineliner and when she is not desiging, she is thinking about how she should be designing. She has exhibited her art around Melbourne and always has a personal project up her sleeve.

Lillian loves her vintage and is a very proud supporter of Dear Gladys. http://www.lilliancutts.com/
