Who Is This For?
Emerging
Illustrators
You’re launching your illustration career and want clarity on portfolios, next steps, and how to move toward your creative goals.
Confused Creatives
You have questions but no idea where to start. Google isn’t helping, but an experienced illustrator can.
Mid-Career but Feeling Stuck
You’ve been illustrating for a while but feel unsure how to grow, pivot, or become more intentional with your creative direction.

What We Can Talk About
Let’s refine your unique style, highlight what’s working, spot what’s missing, and explore where your art can grow.
We can chat about how to price your work, handle contracts, manage several projects at once, and set boundaries that protect your time.
Get helpful feedback on your work, spot the gaps, and discover how to connect more strongly with the markets you want to work in.
Share a work-in-progress or recent illustration and receive thoughtful, in-depth feedback to help you grow.
We can chat about how to stay creatively energized, manage the work-life juggle, and grow your income in ways that feel right for you.

Meet Your Mentor
I’m Ismani, a professional artist, illustrator, and public art designer with over two decades of experience bringing stories and spaces to life. My work lives in children’s books, public spaces, and community-centered projects, like large-scale public art projects and sculptural designs for city infrastructure.
I’ve built a career that blends storytelling with impact, and I’ve learned a lot along the way—not just about art, but about navigating the messy middle: the self-doubt, burnout, and confusion that can come with turning creativity into a career.
I believe in sharing what I’ve learned. I’ve made it my mission to help other artists move forward with more clarity, confidence, and support. These sessions are my way of offering personalized guidance to creatives who are building something meaningful but might need a little help connecting the dots.
Let’s figure it out together.
