Key Takeaways- I like the vibrant use of colours and the influence of Persian and Indian miniature painting. Her art is diverse, each project unlike the next.
I particularly love her vector illustrations made up of simple shapes and repeating lines. This style she started exploring as a part of Daily Icon project back in 2013, over her Tumblr account as a part of personal project. It caught the eye of Paul Buckley, creative director of Penguin Classics. This got her to work on book cover of Penguin Random House’s Shakespeare series.
