Hannah Li is a New York-based illustrator originally from Changsha, China. Graduating from the Savannah College of Art and Design in 2019, she has collaborated with various editorial clients and publishers as a freelancer.

Infused with her foundation in fine arts, Hannah's illustrations seamlessly weave together traditional techniques and contemporary design elements. Her artistic creations consistently evoke a sense of optimism, tranquility, and emotional depth.

She enjoys exploring the complexities of the human experience through illustrating the connections between people and the diverse elements of our world.

When she's not drawing, she plays The Sims or charges up with fiery dishes.
