Hi! I’m Anabelle and I’m from Pittsburgh PA. I just recently moved to New York which was a goal of mine for a while. I am a graphic designer/illustrator and a lover of all things creative. I love admiring art as well as making it myself. Other than digital art, in my free time I like to paint, embroider and make things out of clay (basically anything crafty). The year after I graduated college, I decided to work as an English language assistant in Madrid. I already knew I loved to travel but getting to visit new places regularly was truly amazing. I absolutely loved getting to meet and connect with new people from all over the world. Currently, I do some freelancing and my favorite work I’ve made is for a magazine called ‘Pleaser,’ a music related publication with a team of majority women and 100% incredibly talented people.
I am definitely drawn to things and/or people that don’t shy away from unconventionality. One way I embrace this is by being a huge fan and supporter of drag queens because they express the purest form of individuality and artistry. I truly admire how much confidence and bravery they possess and project in all aspects. I believe everyone deserves to feel completely comfortable in their own skin as they move about the world, and it breaks my heart that this isn’t always the case. I really do aim to be a person who everyone feels they can fully be themselves around, especially in a society that often tries to ostracize those that don’t fit the mold. I also graduated with a degree in sociology which means I learned even more about how incredibly important/beneficial prioritizing diversity is.
