Hello!

I’m Kaynat, a multi-lingual Illustrator-Designer based in the UK and India. My diverse practice combines self-taught skills with digital expertise. Blending Procreate, gouache, and oil pastels I carefully craft detailed illustrations incorporating relatable, culturally rooted characters to play out heart-warming stories that evocatively connect audiences of all ages through subtle emotional messages.

With a formal education in Journalism and a Master’s in Illustration, my work is always rich in context yet fantastical in approach, drawing inspirations from everyday life and my childhood influences of Disney movies, R.K Laxman's Common Man, and Studio Ghibli’s world-building.

Employed as an in-house 2D Game Artist by Photon Tadpole Studios I have contributed to the scenic expansion of the game, 'Lila’s World'. Prior to this, I had extensive experience as an Art Associate at BYJU’s Learning App, creating educational art for platforms accessed by millions. Such teamwork now runs beside individual freelance projects for children’s books, editorial, advertising and packaging.

I'm currently being represented worldwide by Advocate Art.
