Hello!

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

After completing a BA in English and Creative Writing and returning to a lifelong love of drawing, I launched a print shop in 2018 and made my children's picture book debut with I’m Not Scary in 2022. I’ve gone on to work with clients across publishing, surface design, and education, and I also enjoy collaborating on thoughtful, community-driven projects.

My work is rooted in nature, storytelling, and everyday moments, combining traditional drawing with digital illustration. 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
