say hello!

Kïa {kee-ya} is a freelance illustrator & storyteller based in Brisbane/Meanjin, Australia. Known for her playful cut~paper style, Kïa draws upon simple shapes & colour to share true~ish tales of everyday things. Inspired by vintage design, orderly collections & nature studies, Kïa’s work evokes a new nostalgia ~ where something fresh is sparked by something old.

Working in a minimal graphic style allows Kïa the freedom to work both digitally (vector) & manually (paper). She is keen to collaborate on projects that see the value in simplicity, particularly for children’s products such as games, books, clothing and branding.
