Hello!

I’m Raahat, an illustrator and author from the UK. Growing up in Oxfordshire, I have fond childhood memories of drawing, climbing trees, flying kites, and learning to identify local wildlife.

After receiving a BA in English and Creative Writing, I transitioned into illustration and opened an online shop in 2018 for illustrated goods that are designed and packed in my small home studio. In 2022, I made my children’s picture book debut with I’m Not Scary (Alison Green/Scholastic UK), which has since been translated into multiple languages.

My illustrations are inspired by nature, wildlife, and everyday moments, crafted with a gentle narrative style. I’ve worked with a range of clients in publishing, education, and creative technology, and I also enjoy collaborating on community-focused projects. When I’m not at my desk, you’ll find me doting on my cat, exploring the countryside, or chasing my next adventure with a sketchbook in hand.
