Mission

My mission is simple: to bring stories, ideas, and concepts to life through vibrant, captivating illustrations.

Whether it’s creating dynamic artwork that sparks curiosity or designing clear, informative graphics that make complex ideas easier to understand, I work closely with clients to turn their visions into reality. With a focus on inclusivity, creativity, and precision, I aim to help my clients engage, educate, and inspire people everywhere.

Team

Villo.au primarily consists of me, Vil — Vilde Espenes.

With nearly a decade of experience as a freelance illustrator and a BA in Photography and Illustration Design from Curtin University, I bring both knowledge and skill to my work. I specialize in creating dynamic illustrations that find the perfect balance between expressiveness and clarity. Each piece is carefully tailored to meet the unique needs of my clients, ensuring their vision comes through in every detail.

Occasionally, I collaborate with Cody Lehman — a talented illustrator and animator turned game developer. Together, we blend our creative expertise to deliver great results for our clients.

Currently, I’m expanding my skills in IT and web development at TAFE, with the goal of adding a technical edge to my designs. Notably, I coded this website from scratch. :-)
