HELLO THERE, It’s Nice to meet you!

My name is Alexis Young (she/her).

I am a Chinese-Filipino 2D designer 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 kidlit inquiries, please contact my agent Christie Megill at cmegill@catagencyinc.com.
Book covers, picture books, board books and illustrations

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