Illustration graduate AOI ‘one to watch’ for 2022
Congratulations to Illustration BA(Hons) alumna Ashni Wilson, who has been listed as one of ten graduates to watch in 2022 by the Association of Illustrators!
The AOI is the professional body for illustration in the UK, so they know a thing or two about talented graduates. And if Ashni’s portfolio is anything to go by, she’s got an incredibly exciting future ahead of her – check it out here.
