Octavia Bromell

Profile

Octavia Bromell, better known as Tink, is an illustrator and mental health advocate based in rural England. After years struggling with depression and anxiety, Tink now gives talks all over the world on the positive impact creativity can have on all our lives. This overflows into her work, which is bright, and fun, often examining the oddities of being a human. Tink works from a shepherd’s hut studio in the Dorset countryside, with her rescue springer spaniel, Willie, and fluffy but fierce cat, Betty. She takes direct inspiration from the flora and fauna just outside her studio, favouring lovely plants, and strong, interesting people. Working digitally with hand painted textures and details, her style reflects a positive outlook on an often challenging world. Tink is this year’s Adobe Creative Resident for the UK. Her clients include Apple, Moleskine, Chronicle Books and the Royal Shakespeare Company. Her work across designing animated commercials, children’s publication and TV shows. She has helped some wonderful clients to amplify their voices and spread happiness: They are Anorak Magazine, Nexus Studios, Studio AKA, Cartoon Network (and many more to come!) Chi was born in Shanghai. Now lives in London and walks her Jackie-Bichon 3 times a day.
