Harriet looks at the world through an honest yet playful lens. When creating she asks herself the question 'Why are we?’

Rooted in compassion, relationships and humour, Harriet creates a visual world for everyday people, exposing all of our everyday secrets and experiences. Her work is expressive and bold, playful, and rich with personality, combining simple forms with hand-drawn textures for a distinct and contemporary feel.


It’s Nice That named Harriet in their Next Generation continued 2021 and has received a Yellow Pencil from D&AD for her creative campaign work, received multiple awards including recognition for her moving image work and use of illustration in design from the Institute of Designers in Ireland.

Since then she has worked with clients such as The New York Times, Huawei, KiBlind, Penguin Random House and a multitude of european newspapers and businesses.

“Yakub’s strength lies in her ability to question the very ideals that make us human and provide an introspective response that imparts humour on the overlooked moments of existence.”
It’s Nice That


“Harriet is not a liar. She's not going to coat our daily lives in a layer of sweet varnish to hide its tastelessness. But that doesn't mean she's sinking into darkness. Quite the contrary, in fact.”
Kiblind
