Bringing your vision to life and telling your story through illustration.
Hi! I am Rachel, an illustrator, visual communication designer and author.
My love of storytelling and illustration started in my youth in the French countryside, it’s taken me on adventures across the globe and landed me in Australia.
I offer a multi-skilled approach, using traditional and digital mediums and work with businesses with a heart, design studios and agencies to bring their creative visions to life.

Happy clients
“Rachel Tribout’s illustrations for One Remarkable Reef transport young readers into another world. Her flair for visual storytelling and keen sense of design beautifully complement Kellie Byrnes’ text to create a delightfully engaging book about the creatures of the Great Barrier Reef.
Rachel’s also a delight to work with – we had extremely tight deadlines for this project, but Rachel was so easy to communicate with and always delivered on time and to the highest standard. She’s a consummate professional, but she also brings such joy and enthusiasm to the process.”
“I’ve had the pleasure of working on several large festival projects with Rachel as the designer. She works so quickly, with such high quality and great attention to detail. She’s always happy to chat about concepts and how to get the right feeling of an event captured in her beautiful illustrations. Nothing is too hard, and her professional swift responses to questions makes her one of the easiest designers I’ve worked with. I look forward to working with her more in the future.”
“Extinct in the wild on mainland Australia, Tasmania is now the only stronghold for eastern barred bandicoots in the world. But with increasing urbanisation comes increasing threats, and the City of Hobart needed an illustrator who could capture the spirit of these endearing creatures in an urban/bushland environment to help inspire people to become guardians of Hobart’s bandicoots. We turned to Rachel Tribout for help and she delivered more than we could hope for. Her illustrations are the perfect depiction of place and sanctuary.”
“Whether it’s designing educational artwork for giant billboards, brochures or inspirational posters, Rachel has been a deadset pro in bringing my dreams to life and is always an absolute pleasure to work with.”
My story
I’m a Brisbane based illustrator and graphic designer. Previously I was based in Hobart, Tasmania, and I still spend a lot of my time living and working there. That said, I work with clients all around Australia..
Trained in France, I've honed my skills traveling the world. I work with a diverse range of clients, creating unique visual languages and memorable designs and illustrations that captivate and inspire.
Using both traditional and digital mediums, I'm known for my work ethic, adaptability, quality and on-time delivery and strong creative process. I integrate illustration seamlessly into design, bringing fun and positivity to every project.
With a background in art direction, I specialise in taking your project from concept to final delivery.
