Hello!

I’m Michelle Vitale. An Illustrator and Surface Pattern Designer from Johannesburg, South Africa. I am also a proud mamma of two beautiful boys.

I create playful and colourful illustrations for picture books, surface pattern design and products. My work is primarily aimed for the children’s market and for the young at heart.

Mental health is an issue close to my heart and I love to include positive messages into my pieces wherever possible.

I offer the following services:

  • Picture book, board book, middle grade and non-fiction illustration for children’s books.

  • My patterns are available for licensing / alternatively I am open to collaborate on projects.

  • Illustration for products and packaging

I am currently seeking representation! Art agents, I’d love to hear from you.
