Welcome to my portfolio. I’m Aphelandra, a designer, illustrator, and bookworm living in a cozy corner of Wisconsin. I’ve been drawing and creating for as long as I can remember. Growing up the daughter of a landscaper and a craft artist, I was always surrounded by beauty both natural and handmade. In my work today, I strive to evoke the same kind of magic and wonder that was ever-present in my childhood.
