Russell Tate is a Sydney-based designer and illustrator recognised for his distinctive blend of character illustration and clear, engaging infographics. Thoughtful and disciplined by nature, he brings a deep curiosity to every project, exploring ideas with equal parts rigor and play. His personality mixes humour, humility, and a genuine passion for craft, shaping work that feels both intelligent and accessible. Russell is an experienced illustrator, comfortable moving quickly and making those tight deadlines attainable. He's highly process-orientated, taking care to build strong conceptual foundations before refining the details and creating unique artwork that stands out to major clients in a crowded marketplace. Collaboration sits at the heart of his best work, especially when it involves close, meaningful partnerships, though he's equally at ease working independently when a project calls for focus and autonomy. Above all, Russell aims to create thoughtful visual stories that connect, inform and delight. He is represented on a global stage by the pioneering Lemonade illustration agency. Russell's clients include Royal Mail, Car Storage UK, Peacable Kingdom, Scottish Parliament, Usborne Publishing, Acadis, Amazon, Nasa, Scholastic, Simon & Schuster, Audi, Australian Bureau of Statistics, Channel 7, Comm Bank, Csiro, EY, Fox Studios, McDonalds, Matific, Nestle, NiB Health Fund, Norton by Symantec, NSW Government, Optus, QBE, Raiz, Sydney Airport, Sydney Cricket Ground, Sydney Monring Herald, Telstra, Toyota, Volkswagen, CLP Energy, Kifekoi, Mr Biere, Orbit Solutions, Fiat 500, Hitachi, New Zealand Post, Future Ready Singapore, and Unilever.
