Hi! I’m Kelvina Nana Yaa B. Donkor, a professional illustrator and graphic designer from Ghana with a Bachelor of Arts in Publishing Studies, specializing in design and illustration. I’ve spent the past several years bringing stories to life through books, editorial content, and digital media, combining creativity with careful attention to layout, typography, and colour. I love turning ideas into visuals that are both engaging and meaningful, whether it’s a children’s book, a comic series, or a marketing piece. Beyond creating illustrations and layouts, I enjoy exploring new ways to communicate visually and refine design work for maximum clarity and impact. I’m passionate about storytelling, experimentation, and helping projects shine through thoughtful design. When I’m not illustrating, you can usually find me reading novels, writing comics, or diving into digital art projects that challenge me to think differently about visual communication.2-paragraph first-person bio, friendly tone
