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. From spending childhood weekends painting fantastical characters and scenes to studying Design and Architecture, I’ve always been happiest dreaming up worlds and bringing them to life through illustration.

I grew up snorkelling and swimming off the WA coast, but it was while living in a small town in Canada that I truly fell in love with adventuring — spending winters on a snowboard, summers hiking mountains, sketching from a hammock, and sharing campfires with friends.

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.

Now, I get to spend my days building visual worlds, bringing ideas to life, and collaborating with kind, curious people to create work that connects.

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 — to say something deeper, whether it’s loud and bright or soft and slow.

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.
