Graphic Designer & Illustrator Jessica Singh

Recently graduated from Central St Martins in London, Perth girl Jessica Singh is back in Australia, and yes, she is available for freelance & contract work.

What have you been up to lately?
I’ve recently returned to Perth after studying in London for 2 years. At the moment I’m in Sydney doing a week’s work experience with the wonderful frankie magazine. I’m currently guest blogger of the week on the kit cosmetics website. Things are a dream right now!

How was your experience studying at Central St Martins in London?
St Martins was amazing. Of course sometimes it felt like a bit of an uphill battle, but it was the in depth and critical nature of the course that in retrospect allowed me to grow. I think one of the best things about St Martins was being able to interact with so many creative minds. It really gives you hope for the world when you can be a room with some of the most genius young people, and know that they will make a creative difference to world.

How is it now that you are back in Perth?
I’ve only been back for about a month or so! I’m actually writing this from Sydney, but as expected Perth is pretty calm and relaxing. Whilst sometimes it can be boring, there are still a few cool things. I hope to shake it up a bit whilst I’m back. It’s definitely the break I need after the big smoke!

What are you listening/reading/watching/browsing at the moment?
Right now I’m listening to; The Do – Bridge is Broken, reading Virgina Woolf – The Waves, watching The Cove and browsing Sears Christmas catalogues from the 1950s.

Favourite artist, or artists?
Gosh this is a hard question..I guess right now I’d have to say Klimt, Yayoi Kusama, Frida Kahlo and a contemporary japanese illustrator, Minchi.

Where do you find inspiration?
ffffound.com is magical. But mostly from nature, vintage print media, the universe, everywhere, everything, everyone!

What can we expect to see from you in the future?
Right now I’m working on a new exhibition, its close to my heart and I’m really excited about it! I hope to launch it later this year.. keep your eyes peeled! As well as that I’m working on a few secret projects, and developing a small fashion label with my sister.
