ILLUSTRATION WORK


My name is Lisa Lai and I am a Chinese-Canadian emerging illustrator/artist based in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

My current art practice uses fine line work styles with themes of Chinese heritage motifs and nature, with a mixture of western modernism and mainly consists of hand ink drawing that is later digitized for commercial use.

I have been doing freelance illustration work since 2018 and since then have had the opportunity to do work for brands such as tentree, National Geographic, Moonstruck, and Clearly.

My mantra for last year was to be less apologetic all the time. Along with social habit changes, I think design/art really helped with achieving that 😌
