Claire Wilde

Claire Wilde is a graphic designer and artist based in Somerset, UK, working across branding, typography, print and illustration. With a background in graphic design and a particular interest in traditional making processes, her work brings together thoughtful contemporary design with the character and imperfections of handmade techniques. Her practice is rooted in the belief that design can feel more meaningful when it has a physical connection to the world around it. She works with processes including lino carving, hand-drawn lettering, printmaking and physical mark-making, allowing the materials and methods to become part of the final design rather than simply imitating a handmade aesthetic digitally. Claire's work spans identity design, editorial projects, packaging, signage and experimental typography. Her approach is considered but playful, with an emphasis on distinctive visual identities, tactile details and work that feels genuinely human. Alongside client work, Claire continues to explore independent projects that combine graphic design, craft and the overlooked details of the physical world.
