about
Isabel 玥 Li is a Chinese illustrator from Tāmaki Makaurau, Aotearoa. They are currently based in San Francisco.
They draw inspiration from the colour and light of every day. Some things that make their heart beat faster include queer interpretations of pre-19th century literature, cartoons with awful bad-boy characters, peculiar ice cream flavours, clothing with ribbons and pearled buttons, sitting by the sea, and coming across cognates organically.
You can reach them for work inquiries and collaborations at hooray(at)isabel.li!
