HELLO! My name is Nicole and I am a children’s book illustrator, visual development artist, and self-proclaimed ice cream connoisseur from the Philippines who is currently based in Los Angeles, California.
Most of my illustrations are drawn digitally and revolve around nature, fantasy, and whimsical themes. I especially love telling stories for children (and the children at heart) to laugh, ponder, appreciate the simple joys of life.
Armed with a BFA in Illustration from Art Center College of Design and a stash of various desserts, I am available for freelance illustration and visual development work. For any inquiries I can be reached at niclim@rinianart.com
