Available to hire
Hi, I’m Susan Eldridge, an editorial illustrator and content writer based in Laval near Montreal. I write human-centered stories and articles that invite readers to step outside of the box.
I lean heavily on my extensive experience in drawing, painting, and creative writing to blend intriguing storylines with striking illustrations that explore both mainstream and fringe interests.
My wandering travels and experiences supply me with a bottomless well of inspirational ideas that I draw from to bring fresh perspectives to tired topics.
