Illustrator, Designer, Artist, Dog mom, Multi-passionate entrepreneur

Hi there!

My name is Suhun, a South Korean artist and illustrator based in Nairobi, Kenya. I hold a BA in Fine Arts from the American University of Rome, where I honed my practice in traditional painting. I was freelance illustrating and worked a couple of projects after graduating, but my first major project came in 2022–23 as lead artist for Kikapu Studios & AKF (The Aga Khan Foundation) Learning Hub. I was hired as a lead artist for this project and guided my team in creating artwork for six storybooks and solo-illustrated two more. Once this project was done, I explored illustration a bit further. This led to a wedding invitation commission that fused my passions: I adore capturing portraiture, weaving stories through evocative backgrounds, and celebrating cultural details in traditional outfits and settings. Since then, I've specialized in bespoke digital wedding invitations alongside freelance graphic design.
