Everything’s rosy The Canada-based artist discusses her love of illustration and product design, and why she didn’t always have such a passion for pink
Sugarbones

It’s always been such a vital part of my process to be surrounded by the aesthetic and energy that I want to siphon into my own creations. I want to feel joy no matter where I look in my studio, and bright and colourful spaces energise me.

I spend a lot of time in this spot, so some of my favourite items reside here. I love plushies and figurines, especially of the mascot Rilakkuma. There aren’t many places in my home where you won’t find his face somewhere! My walls feature some of my favourite art, as well as illustrations from my friends and fellow artists. Some are gifts, some are notes of encouragement – they all uplift me in my own creative practice.

I share the space with my boyfriend, who has his own desk opposite to mine. He works as an electrical engineer, and his setup is very technical and full of schematics, so we like to joke that the room is like the left and right side of the brain.

I’m a very social creature and working from home can get lonely sometimes without any coworkers, so it’s nice to have my boyfriend around to liven things up! He’s also a valuable asset when it comes to feedback for my designs, especially when it comes to decision making or noticing things I may have missed with fresh eyes.
