Bea Ysolda (Yink) is a London-based multidisciplinary designer, illustrator, and writer. Her work is exploratory, tactile, and emotionally resonant while blending hand-drawn spontaneity with structured design thinking.

Her process is rooted in experimentation and iteration: beginning with loose, intuitive sketches, then building layers through analogue and digital collage, modular compositions, and material play. Whether working with type, editorial illustration, or brand design, she embraces the unexpected, allowing textures, revisions, and happy accidents to shape the final piece.

Driven by themes of ecology, accessibility, and community, her practice prioritises sustainable making—repurposing materials, favouring tactile techniques, and questioning the lifecycle of design. As a writer and visual storyteller, she weaves language and image to create work that feels alive, curious, and deeply human.
