Matthew Syed is a columnist for The Times, an acclaimed author and a former international table tennis champion. His first book for kids, You Are Awesome, was a no. 1 bestseller and won Best Children's Non-fiction Book 2019. He is also a trustee of Greenhouse Sports, a charity that empowers young people from disadvantaged communities through sport. Matthew is married, and has two young children. Toby Triumph is a New York-based illustrator from Yorkshire, England. He creates detailed hand-drawn pieces with an irreverent edge, that incorporate characters, typography and playful phrases. Outlines and blocks help him create definition within these detailed illustrations, often realised in mono or duo tone colour palettes. His work has been applied across product packaging, advertising, clothing, installations and large-scale murals. Lindsey grew up in a tiny town called Oswaldtwistle in the heart of Lancashire. Her favourite playthings were pencils and paints and her first gallery was the fridge door. Her big love for art and design led her to graduate with a first class honours degree in Graphic Design. Lindsey has over a decade of experience in the art and design industry including working for Hallmark. She has recently packed up her sketch books, pens and laptop and set out to see the world. As she travels, she gets inspiration and ideas from all over the globe!
