Simone Hodgskiss is the illustrator, designer and letterer behind Pearly Yon. Born South African and raised in Australia, she now runs a one man show from her studio in the heart of the beautiful city of Cape Town.
Starting her career with Lowe in the advertising industry, she had the privilege of working abroad in London for Draft FCB before going rogue in 2009 when she set out to work for herself under the stage name Pearly Yon.
Living in a crazy country like South Africa which is so abundant in culture, Simone finds inspiration in all kinds of people and places. With a love of print and all things paper, her journey continues as she explores new styles, techniques and medium of illustration and lettering.
