I'm Lauren Pym (Holliday), a South African-born Illustrator, Designer, and Children’s Book Author now based in Leiden, Netherlands. I hold a BA in Visual Art (2D Illustration) from the University of KwaZulu-Natal (2014) and have worked across fields like Stationery Design, Digital Marketing, Post Production, and Tech, consistently as a Digital Designer and Illustrator.
I'm the author and illustrator of the Little Chick series, published by Imagnary House, and have experience in both print and digital media, including 2D motion graphics, children’s illustration, UI, corporate identity, and social media design. Recently, I've been expanding into animation using After Effects, Premiere Pro, and Adobe Animate.
Known for my bubbly personality and deadline-driven work ethic, I thrive in both collaborative and solo creative environments through my brand, "holliday illustrates".

Fun fact: I have lived in eight different cities and towns across five countries. When not busy doodling, you can find me either hiking with my son and husband, practicing yoga, befriending cats, or sipping on a glass of wine.
