Hello! I’m Alanah, an illustrator with nearly a decade of experience in sharing my work on social media, and 5 years of freelance experience working on projects of all fun shapes and sizes.

I’ve had a pencil in my hand ever since I was a kid, but really only delved into the wonders of illustration in my teenage years. Inspired by the likes of Henri Matisse and Manjit Thapp (and tooled with the sweet sting of rejection from UAL), I picked up an iPad and Apple Pencil and embarked on my journey to conquer the world of digital illustration myself.

My illustrations often embody growth and change, characterised by ordered shapes and structured formats. I’m naturally drawn to softer, muted colour palettes and delicate lines, although my style evolves along with my own tastes, which I’ve learned to embrace. My illustrations stem from a place of exploration, even in moments of confusion, allowing for my subject matter to be less defined. Ultimately, I create what I’m visually drawn to.

My work has found its way into various places, from the front cover of The NYT Book Review to coffee vans in NY. Over the years, I have collaborated with publishing houses, advertising agencies, brands, and individuals, crafting editorial illustrations, product designs, web assets, advertising collateral and artwork for both digital and print mediums. Notable clients include Wired Japan, Harvard Business Review, and Blank Street.

Beyond my illustration work, I’m a deep thinker who values wellness, community, and my endless array of hobbies - from dancing in my room to cooking with my friends.
