Iโ€™m Emily, an Ottawa-based freelance illustrator. Thanks for stopping by!

Art has always been a constant for me โ€” a hobby, what I studied in post-secondary, and a side gig to my graphic design freelancing. With my drawings, I try to provide you with a bit of an escape, hopefully a smile, some insight and positivity, and โ€” most of all โ€”  connection. I love when people tell me they can relate to or were moved by something I created. If  you have any questions or if youโ€™d like to work with me , Iโ€™d love to hear from you!


I am: a second-generation Taiwanese Canadian / a homeschooling mom of two kiddos / a plant-powered foodie / working on a graphic novel / really glad youโ€™re here.


p.s. I have a sister who draws too :)
