Italian-born Sara Fanelli mainly focuses on a collage-style of working when it comes to her illustrations. A former student at the Royal College of Art in London and a previous recipient of the Macmillan Prize for a Children's Book (amongst other prestigious awards), Fanelli's clients include The New York Times, Ford, BBC and many more highly successful and world-renowned companies.

Fanelli's collages are all created by hand rather than digitally purely through choice, she feels more connected to her designs and artwork when she's manually designing as oppose to using a tablet or design software. Sara also believes that experimentation is key when it comes to design, She explains:
"I like to experiment. When I make a collage illustration I start with a drawing of the composition, the layout. Then I play around with it, interweaving it with all the different items I might be using. I like to play around with the typography too and create my own lettering. I don't use a computer to create artwork. Too many designers rely on them".
Fanelli's work contrasts shape, colour and also type and makes for diverse and highly interesting compositions of very different subject manner, from human figures to animals and many more well thought out and complex designs.
