Sonya is an illustrator and graphic designer. She has a degree in communication design, majoring in illustration, and, more recently, a Master of Teaching. She freelances and works corporately part-time.
My illustrations combine digital and traditional watercolour styles to meet briefs for street installations, publication, fashion and textile industries. I work with watercolour, gouache, pencil, fineliners and Adobe Creative Suite (for combining elements). Water, patterns, flora and fauna usually inspire my illustrations, and I love blending realistic and abstract elements in my work. I’m currently designing prints for my own sleepwear range and hope to launch an online shop very soon.
Sonya is also Hoodie Mag’s designer. Designing Hoodie Mag has been really fun, especially because I’ve had significant freedom to contribute to its overall look and feel. I’m also really excited about being in the company of so many amazing young artists.
