Hello,
I'm Shami

Short Story:

I am a doctor turned digital artist through self study since 2020. I love telling stories through my illustrations and designing emotional moments that grab viewers.

Long Story:


Drawing and creating was always a passion of mine…but like many people, I thought it could never amount to more than a hobby.

Fast forward years of scientific study and a medicine degree in hand, I couldn't let go of my dream of making art for a living. I couldn’t invest in formal art education at the time so I turned to online courses and books.

In 2020, I began my art learning journey. I had no idea where to start or if it would work out. But I knew it was important for me to give it my best shot. I picked up a paintbrush and haven’t put it down since.

I quickly developed a passion for visual storytelling and colour and light design. To me, that’s where the real magic in picture making lies.
