Behind the Portfolio: Ane Arzelus Shares Their Journey from Creative Child to Creative Professional
We recently had the pleasure to sit down with illustrator Ane Arzelus to learn about their journey to becoming a sought after illustrator and designer. Read about their experiences and words of advice for creatives just starting out.
When did you first know you wanted to be an illustrator?
I was a creative child that turned into a creative teenager who debated whether to study Psychology or Fine Arts, and the Fine Arts won! I was an avid reader too so any interaction with images and texts fascinated me.

Inspired by ideas, Ane is thrilled at the chance to tackle tough topics. Producing a range of artwork on a variety of subjects, from the climate crisis to mental health, they have a knack for delivering complex concepts with clear and concise visuals. Ane’s illustrations tell a story, with bold colour palettes and graphic shapes guiding the viewer. Whether its a detailed map or a simple visual, Ane definitely doesn’t shy away from making a statement. In fact, they embrace it!
