Hi

I am Somang — an award-winning illustrator, graphic facilitator and nature lover based in London.

I trained at Central Saint Martins School of Art and Design and the Royal College of Art, and have worked as a freelance illustrator since graduating in 2011.

My practice spans live graphic recording and studio illustration & visualisation—capturing ideas in real time during workshops and events, and creating clear, information-led visuals for reports, publications, websites and campaigns. Across both, I translate complex ideas into engaging, accessible imagery that brings clarity and energy to communication.

My creative work is deeply informed by a love of nature, plants, wildlife and outdoor exploration. I aim to create illustrations that are both beautiful and useful—drawing on the natural world to inspire curiosity, connection and action.

Clients include the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Pavilion Books, Oprah Magazine, Turner Contemporary, Towner Eastbourne, Museum of London Archaeology, Breathe Magazine, Westminster Council, the Greater London Authority, NHS England and the Goethe Institut

For commissions and enquiries, please get in touch or book a free 15-minute consultation to explore how illustration can bring your message to life.

Here is another childhood memory of mine. My sister and I would spend summers in the Swabian alps with Oma and Opa. I remember the wildflower meadows being so tall that we called it ‘Wiesenmeer’ - sea of grass. We’d pretend to swim
