Nila Aye graduated from Central St Martins with a sell-out show in 1995, and has been a firm favourite of the London illustration scene ever since. Nila is influenced by mid-century design and children's books from this era: she describes her work as "Retro modern with a cute twist, and a touch of humour". Full of brightness, fun and irresistible charm, Nila's illustrations are loved by children and adults alike, and they have won her admiration from publishers around the globe. Her work on the My First Heroes series is her first project with Campbell Books.
