Meet Laura-Lise
Illustrator. Designer. Storyteller.
Hi, I'm Laura-Lise.
I'm the illustrator and designer behind IYHTVDesigns, a small independent studio built around meaningful, hand-crafted design.
Over the past decade I've worked as an illustrator, designer, event stylist, and creative director, helping businesses and celebrations come to life through thoughtful visual storytelling.
Whether I'm painting a destination wedding map, illustrating a meaningful place, building a boutique brand identity, or designing stationery that becomes a family keepsake, my favorite part of every project is turning someone's story into something they can hold onto.
Outside the Studio
When I'm not in the studio, you'll probably find me travelling, cheering on my boys from the sidelines of a soccer field, wandering through historic streets with my camera, discovering great coffee shops, or spending time near the ocean.
Those quiet moments away from my desk are often where my best ideas begin. Every trip, conversation, and beautiful place becomes part of the inspiration behind the illustrations and designs I create.
My Design Philosophy
I believe the most meaningful designs are the ones that tell a story.
Whether it's a custom watercolor map, a wedding invitation, a brand identity, or a keepsake created for a family, my goal is always the same: to create something thoughtful, timeless, and deeply personal.
I don't chase trends. I create pieces that people will still love years from now because they're rooted in real memories, meaningful places, and genuine connection.
Thank You for Being Here
Thank you for taking the time to learn a little about me and the studio I've built.
Every project begins with a conversation, and I'm incredibly grateful for every person who chooses to trust me with their story.
Whether you're planning a celebration, building a brand, or simply looking for something meaningful, I'd love to create something beautiful together.
