HELLO THERE,
It’s Nice to meet you!


My name is Alexis Young (she/her).

I am a Chinese-Filipino 2D artist and kidlit illustrator based in Canada. I am heavily inspired by colour and lighting situations observed in my daily life and travels. Through digital illustration, I aim to capture moments of discovery and tell coming-of-age stories all with a bit of magic and a whimsical nature.

My story interests include, but are not limited to:

  • Adventure and the exploration of new worlds

  • Environmental awareness and sustainability

  • Friendship and animal companions

  • Chinese/Filipino culture and folklore

  • Retelling of heroes and mythology

 

 

I AM CURRENTLY AVAILABLE for FREELANCE WORK!

For business inquiries, drop me a line at alexisyoungart@gmail.com or via my contact form.
