Aleesha Nash

Aleesha Nash – Designer

I'm a professional illustrator who makes content for kids! I love drawing fun characters using lots of textures & vibrant colors.

Overview

For 25 years, I've led digital marketing and graphic design endeavors. In 2020, I transitioned to digital illustration, immersing myself in kids and editorial themes. My journey reflects a passion for creativity that keeps evolving.


Memories of childhood and the power of imagination are the driving force behind my work. I want my art to be a part of the conversation about how youth see themselves in the world. The stories we are exposed to as children shape us.


I truly value communication and laying out a plan and deadlines. Together, we can establish the moods, tones, and vibes of the art you seek. Let's work together and get your book or project started!

Work experience

Self-employed

Feb, 2017 — Present

I've worked in the content creation space for over 25 years. I am both a writer and an illustrator and have been creating content for the theatre, non-profits that support youth, and animation and puppet kid shows. My illustration and graphic design work shifted in 2017 when my role required creating content photos, videos, and graphics for The Flea Theatre. Before 2020, I worked in acrylic and gouache and moved to digital in 2020.
