About Me
About Me
Graphic designer blending bold, playful visuals with thoughtful design across music, packaging, print, and motion.
I’m Lucy Holt, a Nottingham-based graphic designer with a passion for creating bold, characterful visuals across print, digital, and motion. While I’ve built a strong foundation designing for the music scene, crafting artwork, flyers, 3D logos, and motion pieces for DJs, labels, and events, I love working across a wide range of creative projects.
Right now, I’m designing board games and packaging at Fineprint Nottingham and Hayman Creative, where I focus on playful, engaging visuals that balance form and function. Whether it’s a club poster, a brand identity, or a product that needs to stand out on shelves, I bring a sharp eye, a sense of fun, and a love for thoughtful design.
I’m open to freelance projects and full-time opportunities, especially ones that welcome experimentation, collaboration, and a bit of weirdness.

Word on the street
“A multidisciplinary artist who is experimental and innovative in their use of visual communication. Whether it’s space, print or moving image, Lucy explores and edits bizarre imagery to communicate an experimental narrative to the audience”
- Aikaterini Paraskevopoulou, Author of Moan Zine”
“It’s been an absolute joy working with Lucy, her positive energy combined with her experimental and out-of-the-box thinking makes her a visionary creative. Like her personality, she often showcases her punny and humourous side in her work, which is why it is always a pleasure to see”
