Alisa Coburn (Illustrator)
Alisa Coburn is an illustrator and designer. Her route into illustration has been a winding one, taking her through a quirky Sydney animation studio, a leading graphic design college, a hungry advertising agency and the hallowed halls of the BBC. These varied experiences taught her how to breathe life into almost anything, armed her with a bag of design tricks, sparked a love of expressive hand-drawn lettering, and instilled a belief that the best ideas are often deceptively simple. She is passionate about creating playful characters brimming with personality and discovering fresh ways to weave narrative and design together. Her work combines storytelling, humour and warmth to create engaging experiences for young audiences.
