Hi! I’m Ellabel, Aussie/Filipino illustrator on a mission to help creatives.

I was always that kid who loved anything creative - dancing, reading, music, and making things with my hands.

I began drawing in 2015 while traveling around Europe, starting with iconic landmarks and personal memories of the places I visited. Over time, my work evolved into drawing from imagination as a way of processing emotions - it felt like letting my inner child take the lead again.

As a self-taught artist balancing a full-time corporate job, it was daunting to start sharing my work, but I’m so glad I did. After participating in a local art market in 2023, I launched an online store, showcased my art in exhibitions, shared my work online, and grew a community of thousands of creatives on their own journeys.

Today, my mission is to help creatives stay creative. My latest project is my YouTube channel, where I share instructional videos, mindset tips, and glimpses into my life.

At the heart of it all, I hope my work reminds people that creativity is for everyone, and it’s never too late to embrace it.
