Edith Young works in art and design with a studio and advisory.

I am a new york-based illustrator and writer with a strong sense for the conceptual, the colorful, and the whimsical. My hand-drawn illustration projects span identity design, logos, effusively branded material, editorial assignments, books, visual essays, wedding schemes and other personal commissions.

Delightful clients include: The Carlyle Hotel, nike, Schumacher, LAPHROAIG, Gap, the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of New York, The Wall Street Journal, Google, wetransfer, Thermegroup, Big Night, & Karhu. 

I write Powers of Observation, a newsletter of illustrated essays on New York as observed by someone who adores it.

for literary inquiries, i am represented by kate mack at aevitas creative management.

In 2021, Princeton Architectural Press published my first book, Color Scheme: An Irreverent History of Art and Pop Culture in Color Palettes. Prints of my art historical palettes are available here.

Previously, i was the editor of bergdorf goodman, and before that, the associate editor of Man Repeller. I studied photography and the art of problem solving at the Rhode Island School of Design.
