Northern Bird Designs

Hi, I’m Annie McGee, an illustrator, writer, and disabled artist based in Cheshire, UK. 🌿🖋️

On this channel I share an honest, behind-the-scenes look at life as a working illustrator:
	•	My creative process for children’s books, middle grade, and graphic novels
	•	How I balance studio life, parenting, and multiple chronic illnesses
	•	Tips, tools, and strategies for thriving as a disabled artist and running a sustainable creative business

Expect a cosy dark-academia vibe, practical advice, and plenty of sketchbook peeks. If you’re curious about illustration, chronic illness life, or building a creative career on your own terms, you’re in the right place!
