I'm Caroline Oakey (Oaki), an award-winning multidisciplinary designer and illustrator based in the West Midlands, UK.
I work across illustration, graphic design, interior and set design, drawing on different disciplines to explore ideas and bring them to life. 
My work is driven by an interest in storytelling, social issues, education and the world around us. I’m particularly interested in using creativity to encourage conversation around subjects that affect people and communities.
