Hi, I'm Jacqueline Philippeau, a passionate illustrator based in New York. I've been working as a freelance illustrator since 2021, creating engaging visuals for a variety of clients, from web banners to zines. I enjoy combining traditional media like watercolor and pen & ink with digital tools such as Procreate and Photoshop to bring ideas to life. Currently, I am finishing my BFA in Illustration at the School of Visual Arts. Alongside my studies, I've had the opportunity to intern at the Society of Illustrators and mentor students virtually. I love collaborating and learning from both clients and fellow artists to keep growing in my craft.
