Hello!

I’m Raahat, an illustrator and author living in Oxfordshire, England.

After completing a BA in English and Creative Writing, I shifted my focus to illustration, opening an online shop for prints in 2018, and making my picture book debut in 2022 with I’m Not Scary (Alison Green Books). I’ve gone on to work with clients across publishing and education, and I enjoy collaborating on thoughtful, community-driven projects.

My work is rooted in nature, storytelling, and everyday moments, combining traditional drawing with digital art. When I’m not at my desk, I’m usually exploring the countryside, doting on my cat, or chasing my next adventure with a sketchbook in hand.

I’m represented by Thao Le at Sandra Dijkstra Literary Agency
