About Me

Hi there! I'm Yemisi, a Visual Communicator and Illustrator passionate about using colour and storytelling to uplift and empower. I create engaging illustrations that explore wellness, mindfulness, self-help, productivity, education, and faith.I use colourful, stylised imagery to transform complex ideas into clear, accessible visuals that inspire self-compassion, clarity, and excitement. My background as an education specialist and qualified teacher has shown me the power of light-heartedness in navigating complex topics, and I infuse every piece with authenticity, compassion, and a touch of joy.When I'm not drawing, you can find me writing poetry or nose buried in a Sci-Fi novel.
