Angelika is based in South London. Everywhere she goes she carries around a sketchbook and jots down every idea that comes into her head. Before Angelika became an illustrator she taught yoga to young children, making up innovative stories through yoga. This was what later inspired her to illustrate children’s books. She loves the hustle and bustle of the city and stopping off at small coffee shops, where she gathers her inspiration from the people and atmosphere around her. Angelika loves creating cute, fun characters.
