The London-based, rainbow-haired illustrator, art director and designer is known for her dynamic use of colour, which spawned an entirely new doctrine of design and has cemented her place as one of the UK’s most exciting young artists.

In 2007, she was selected to take part in Creative Review's Creative Futures bursary project, and even before graduating from art college in 2008, she already had some high-profile clients under her belt.

Twenty-twelve was also a big year for Moross. Besides being selected to design the logo to represent Samsung's London Olympics 2012 partnership, and to carry the flame at the torch relay, she also launched her own studio that creates, art directs, designs, films and rebrands some of the world's most well-known musicians, including the likes of One Direction, Disclosure, Wild Beasts, Young Turks and Sam Smith among many others. In addition to music videos, her portfolio extends to textiles, identities, murals, fashion and magazine covers for a number of international publications and brands, such as Nike, Topshop and Google.

Her work is referred to as individual and distinct, and true to her infectious, playful imagination, her creativity knows no bounds.
