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.

Also open to visual development, editorial illustration and surface design
For kidlit inquiries, please contact my agent Christie Megill at cmegill@catagencyinc.com.
