I’m Léane, a freelance illustrator specialising in advertising, commercial and editorial illustration.


I create vibrant and playful compositions while experimenting with shapes, textures and hand lettering. With a love for bold shapes, my passion for fashion and sports inspires lifestyle-driven illustrations that focus on people, wildlife, nature, clothing, and movement. I am drawn to the challenge of restricting my colour palette while creating intertwined compositions. The results, though often unexpected, are incredibly satisfying.

I am currently based in the UK.
