Hello, I'm Navina!
As an author and illustrator, my creative journey is woven with the influences of my Indian heritage. My debut picture book, Raaga's Song: A Diwali Story, released in September of 2023 to wide acclaim. I discovered a calling for illustration in a previous life, while leading a design team at a tech company. This led me to pursue Graphic Design at Billy Blue College of Graphic Design in Sydney. Today, my creative process is a blend of digital techniques using Adobe Photoshop, and traditional mediums like ink and linocuts. I love experimenting with patterns, texture and color, infusing life into my work whilst playing with light and shadow to add dimension. Maker of cute things, my work can be described as warm, friendly, charming and fun. When I'm not tucked away in my studio, you will find me cooking Indian food, dancing to Bollywood music, or curled up with a book and a hot cup of masala chai. I currently live in Michigan with my husband and our young son, where I am known to, besides other things, be the ultimate champion at peek-a-boo. |
