Hello! Hola!

Welcome to my website! My name is Reiko (that’s pronounced ray-ko). I am a digital illustrator that loves to create artwork about travel, wildlife, and food. Whether it's crafting intricate repeat patterns, funny greeting cards, or captivating scene illustrations, I love to play with colour to keep things fun and vibrant.

I’m available for both freelance projects as well as art licensing. If you’re interested in either, please contact me.
