I’m Lorna, an independent illustrator based in the highlands of Scotland. I create illustrated wall prints for nurseries, baby rooms and children’s spaces, from bold alphabet prints to personalised portraits, designed to feel at home in real, lived-in rooms.
Each design starts with drawings and ideas scribbled into my many sketchbooks followed by colour work and finessing on my computer. I make prints that feel playful, retro, graphic and stylish enough to live with as children grow.
My portraits are created using a set of carefully designed options rather than working directly from photographs. You can choose from a range of themes, hairstyles, colours, and details to create a likeness that feels close enough while remaining illustrated and timeless.
The process is simple, with clear options, gentle guidance where needed and a focus on creating something that feels personal and special to you.
My work is made for real homes, not showrooms. For walls that change over time, and rooms shared by siblings or updated as children grow older.
Many of my prints are photographed in customers’ homes so you can see how they live in context. These are everyday spaces, used and enjoyed, not styled sets. Follow my instagram for more interiors inspiration @lornafreytag

Although I’m based in Scotland, my work lives in homes across the UK, the US, Europe, Canada, and Australia. Each order is carefully printed and packed by the closest printing partner, then sent directly to you.
This approach keeps things efficient and dependable while allowing me to remain a small, independent maker focused on the work itself.
I keep my collection intentionally small, focusing on well-designed pieces rather than constant newness (but i do add new letter options now and again so keep checking back or sign-up to my newsletter for updates) Every print is something I’m proud to put my name to.
If you’re looking for children’s artwork that feels thoughtful, personal, and designed to last, you’re very welcome here.
