Jennifer-Portrait

Jennifer Falkner is an illustrator and independent designer based in Perth, Western Australia. She is available to work for commercial, editorial and private clients.

Jennifer’s work is inspired by a passion for Australian flora and fauna, and a childhood playing and exploring the beach and the bush in Western Australia. With a background in graphic design, Jennifer’s early career was spent at Block, a boutique agency where she worked on brands such as the Perth International Arts Festival, Zekka, Rosendorffs, 3Sports, and Filmtecknara. In 2009, Jennifer founded Formosa, a venture that successfully blended Jennifer’s passions for textile design of Australian flora and fauna with her commitment to social and environmental justice. Formosa grew into a triple bottom line business manufacturing handbags and homewares stocked in over 100 stores across Australia. In more recent years Jennifer has juggled motherhood and a growing body of work in illustration for children.

Before returning to Perth in 2018, Jennifer lived and worked in Canberra, Bangkok, Jakarta and Singapore.

She is represented by the Bright Agency.
