CREATIVE STATEMENT
Hi I'm Simon, lifestyle illustrator based in Copenhagen, Denmark. My work is deeply influenced by my upbringing in Canada, my Chinese heritage, and my connection to the LGBT community. I love creating cozy environments that evoke emotions and memories through soft, animated storytelling. To create a successful lifestyle illustration, I believe it’s essential to authentically reflect human experiences. For me, the two most important qualities of a successful illustration are emotional resonance and relatable storytelling.
