About Me
I’m a professional illustrator with a global portfolio, partnering with clients across North America, Europe, Asia, the UK, and Australia. My work spans editorial, commercial, and entertainment sectors, delivering thoughtful, dynamic visuals tailored to each project’s unique goals.

Fluent in both digital and traditional media, I adapt seamlessly to different industries and creative teams, offering a versatile skill set rooted in storytelling, craft, and collaboration.

Industry Expertise & Collaborations
I specialize in creating impactful, illustration-driven content across industries including advertising and marketing, health and wellness, technology and AI, publishing, entertainment, media and comics, and fashion and apparel. My illustrations are crafted to elevate brand identity, drive engagement, and support strategic marketing goals.

Clients and collaborators include globally recognized brands like Rolls-Royce and ADA Diamonds, as well as top agencies such as Edelman. My work has appeared in high-impact presentations for BMO, large-scale AI storyboards featured in international airports, and full-scale advertising campaigns for WeightWatchers.

From concept development to final delivery, I manage each project with a clear focus on results, always delivered on time, on brand, and on budget.

I value long-term partnerships, open communication, and a shared commitment to success, whether working with Fortune 100 companies or boutique creative teams. Let’s create visuals that make your next project stand out. I’m excited to connect and discuss how we can work together.

Meet Globetrotter
In 2022, I launched Globetrotter, a daily comic strip that quickly found its place among the greats through syndication with Andrews McMeel Universal, home to iconic titles like Calvin and Hobbes, For Better or For Worse, and Garfield.

The strip follows Chloe, a curious and spirited travel blogger, as she explores the world with humour, heart, and the occasional cultural misstep. Globetrotter offers readers a lighthearted escape, celebrating the thrill of discovery through relatable, engaging storytelling, one strip at a time.

Inspired by my own international experiences, having lived in Canada, Norway, Germany, and England, and travelled to more than 35 countries, Chloe’s adventures are often drawn from real moments and conversations. The humour is grounded in authenticity, giving the strip a sense of connection that resonates with a global audience.

As an indie webcomic, Globetrotter  brings Chloe’s journey to readers around the world, offering a fresh take on travel, identity, and the joy (and chaos) of stepping into the unfamiliar.

"Ainsley has once again delivered outstanding work. Her ability to interpret the needs of the client, and turn it around into a stunning piece of art, is just incredible. Her work is top notch, she is communicative and friendly, and she is always able to interpret our (often ambiguous) needs and come back with something incredible. She was able to produce exactly what we were looking for, and did so very quickly.I only hope to have more projects that will allow me to work with Ainsley again."
