Britt Harcus – Designer

I am a farmers daughter and live on a beautiful island off the north of Scotland. This has shaped much of my work. I have worked for the private and commercial sector. Clients include NHS, The Scottish Parliament, Hachette and Acair. Published titles include 'Made up Muck?' written and illustrated by myself, 'A small Town Affair' and 'The Trouble with Keeping Mum' by Rosie Wallace plus Jim Hewiston's latest 'Our Crazy World'. My first self published children's book was titled 'Janice Wants to be Heard' followed by 'Janice and the Special Breakfast'. I illustrate a bi-monthly safety article for Orkney Farmer Magazine. I have just completed a children's book for German author Paul Boothroyd; 'George and the Golden Letterseed'. My new children's book is titled 'O is for Orkney' and is out now in hardback. I am a member of the Association of Illustrators. I love my work and hope you do too. Thank you for your interest.

Worked as part of a small enthusiastic team within local radio station whilst completing my degree. The daily deadlines of typing scripts and working with the general public made this a hectic, yet enjoyable workplace.
