Kiandokht Khalili – Designer

Published Children's Book Illustrator with a colourful & whimsical style & the creator behind Starchild Illustration.

Overview


Hello there!


My name is Kian & I’m a published illustrator & surface pattern designer based in Vancouver, Canada.


I create hand-drawn illustrations using Procreate & other digital mediums. I love creating work for children and creative individuals. I find my inspiration from nature, animals, kids, & all the weird and fantastic things in life, and I have a knack for developing whimsical characters in unique backgrounds.


Working with authors and bringing their vision to life has been a great and fulfilling experience for me. I value a great collaboration and clear communication throughout the creative process to make a stunning product that both the author and artist can be proud of.


Can’t wait to hear from you!

Kiandokht is an illustration angel!! She was such a pleasure to work with - and I can't wait to collaborate on another project with her in the future! Kiandokht has a very professional manner without making the process too intimidating! She was there to help with any questions I had, and she made the process so fun and easy.
