Olivia Elsner: Illustrator Blurb
Meet the 2027's Cover Artist - Olivia
As a creative at my core, some of my earliest and happiest moments were spent with a pencil and a blank page. Graphic design then became the digital extension of that passion. After qualifying, I spent years in corporate, and now years in freelance, always looking out for projects that align with my design ethos and my love for art and creativity.
This capsule collection is one of those projects. Creating five unique covers for this range of planners is the kind of brief I dreamed about as a design student. While the floral design is especially close to my heart, each cover has its own personality, so there's one for every kind of planner.
It's been the greatest joy to be the creative mind behind something so much bigger than myself, and to know that my work will be part of so many women's everyday lives. Younger ‘me’ would be thrilled!
Aureum Design’s Nicole Levenberg
Meet the 2026's Cover Artist - Nicole
Nicole is the talent behind our gorgeous new collection of Edit covers. Having first collaborated in 2018 on our Blue Jungle cover, our paths would cross again five years on.
In 2021, Nicky moved from South Africa to Surrey, England; Jen followed suit two years on. Nicky is the mother of two young children, Jen three. They also share a love of good design and creative partnerships, culminating not only in a blossoming sisterhood, but also a fruitful alliance on the 2025 collection.
Trained in Fine Art at Wits and Textile Design at Central Saint Martins, Nicky’s career has encompassed a diverse array of creative projects. Whether crafting the design for a wallpaper, textile or mural, her work is imbued with evidence of the hand and often nods to her reverence for nature.
For Alexa Lily’s 2026 collection of Edit covers, Nicky hand drew and painted five illustrations that reflect the soft femininity and sophistication of our brand.
