Hi, I’m Dilara, a UK-based illustrator who recently graducated at UCA Farnham. My work is playful and bold, I like photography and creating doodles and visual moments that feel simple at first glance, but hold more meaning the longer you sit with them. Whether it’s through hand-drawn illustrations or clean digital pieces I aim to create a visually satisfying piece. I illustrated the cover of 'Become Smartyr Not a Martyr', a self-hypnosis book by Riz Virdee and Deborah Kerr, a project that let me explore visual storytelling in a more introspective, therapeutic space. I’m interested in working across editorial, publishing, branding, or anywhere illustration can bring a bit more honesty or weirdness into the world. I’m currently looking for freelance work, collaborations, or longer-term opportunities, so if you’re into what I do, I’d love to hear from you.
