ABOUT TORI

ILLUSTRATOR, STORYTELLER, ADVENTURER

Hi, I’m Tori — a Melbourne based illustrator who creates colourful, story-rich artwork for people and brands who care about nature, play, and purpose.

If you love fun colours, slow adventures, and ideas that make you smile (or stop and think), we’ll probably get along great.

I’ve been drawing silly little things ever since I could hold a pencil, and I’ve never really stopped.

Along the way, I worked in design and architecture, but my heart always pulled me back to storytelling and illustration.

I grew up snorkelling and swimming off the WA coast, but it was while living in a small town in Canada that I realised just how deeply I love adventuring - spending winters on a snowboard, summers hiking mountains, and every spare moment admiring nature.

That love for the outdoors flows straight into my work. I’m endlessly inspired by wild places, environmental care, and the sense of curiosity that comes from exploring something new.

I help conscious brands, creatives, and changemakers communicate their message in a way that’s bold, joyful, and deeply human. My work blends a love of nature with a sense of narrative and whimsy.

From playful packaging and environmental campaigns to editorial illustration, apparel graphics, and story-driven branding, my goal is always the same: to tell stories that make people feel something and maybe look at the world a little differently.

WHAT I DO

YOU’LL USUALLY FIND ME:

  • Wandering through trees and admiring nice rocks

  • Cosied up with a fantasy novel, two cats, and a cup of tea

  • Skateboarding, hiking, or quietly people-watching in a park

  • Cooking (or eating) vegan treats

  • Rewatching my favourite cartoons for the 400th time

WHEN IM NOT DRAWING…

SUSTAINABILITY - In materials, in message, in mindset
INCLUSIVITY - Creating visuals that feel welcoming to everyone
CURIOSITY - Exploring new ways of seeing, learning, and making
IMAGINATION - Finding magic in the ordinary
