Hey there! I’m Reiko

(pronounced ray-ko)

I’m a digital illustrator who splits her time between Canada and Mexico (which basically means I follow the sunshine and the tacos). My art is inspired by the things I love most: travel, wildlife, nature, and food. Whether I’m drawing from my own travel photos, a hilarious animal expression, or my latest snack obsession, I try to bring a sense of joy, colour, and storytelling into every piece.

Lately, I have been in love with creating repeat patterns, playful greeting cards, and full-scene illustrations that make people smile. My style is vibrant, fun, and often a little silly - because honestly, the world could always use a bit more colour and humour.

When I’m not drawing, you’ll probably find me at the beach with my husband, snorkeling in the waves, or hanging out at home in Mexico with our furry family of 12 cats and 2 dogs (yes, you read that right—twelve). I’m also a sucker for a good street taco.

I’m available for freelance illustration projects and open to art licensing opportunities.

If you’re interested in collaborating, I would LOVE to hear from you!
