Why Choose Me?
I'm Leela, a professional illustrator based in Guisborough, North East England. I travel to events in North Yorkshire, Teesside, Co. Durham, Newcastle and Northumberland, and further afield on occasion.
I've been a professional illustrator since 2020 and have created artwork for clients such as Crayola, before discovering the world of live illustration, which now forms the majority of my work.
Since April 2024 I've illustrated at over 30 weddings and events - from intimate celebrations with small guest lists, to large luxury gatherings with 150+ attendees.
Before launching my live illustration business, I worked full time in a corporate career for over 14 years.
I've also sat through plenty of dull conferences and events and wished there had been SOMETHING that made the day memorable!
I'm calm, professional, polite and reliable. I understand that the attendees of your event need to leave having had the best possible experience. I'm here to help you achieve that!
