Hi, my name is Amber Lim and I'm a Malaysian-born illustrator based in Iceland now. I hold a BFA in Communication Design from Pratt Institute, NYC. Post-COVID, I pivoted from graphic design to illustration because I realised I can make a better difference in the world by illustrating stories.
My style is influenced by my childhood consumption of Asian media influences. I love to imbue bits of imagination into the mundane everyday life in my illustrations. Magic can be found in the little details such as fluttering of curtains during recess time, a fallen eyelash on a cheek, the reflection of the player on an ultra-glossy guitar... Dream projects right now include illustrating for a brand's advent calendar and postal stamps. 
If you have a project in need of illustration, please reach out at amberlimshin@gmail.com! You can also find me on instagram
