About Me
Isobel Battersby Design
Naturally interested, creative and adaptive, becoming a designer has always felt like the perfect path for me. Bolstered further by completing a prestigious BA in Illustration, and later an MA in Design, it’s formed an incredible foundation from which to grow my expertise.
Since then, I’ve developed a diverse portfolio, working alongside small start ups, all the way up to leading industry brands; ranging from FMCG and fashion to packaging innovation, beauty and children’s toys. Though I have a well rounded array of expertise, my skill set primarily covers brand design, packaging and product, where core responsibilities included new product development and brand roll out, maintaining consistency over multiple channels.
