about.

Hi! My name's Lily and I'm a Caribbean-American illustrator, designer, and visual development artist currently operating from the greater Washington D.C. metropolitan area. I love featuring colors, characters, and characters of color in my work. I was most recently an Art Intern at Pixar Animation Studios, and am currently illustrating the upcoming graphic novel "Lightning Changes" by Sherri L. Smith for DC Kids. Additional collaborators include Mattel, Netflix, DreamWorks, and more.
