Why work with a neurodivergent illustrator
Neurodivergent brains tend to be pattern-finding, detail-obsessed, hyperfixation-powered machines — which is exactly what original illustration rewards. You get art with a genuine point of view, deep iteration when a project needs it, and a collaborator who communicates honestly about scope and timelines.
How the process works
- Brief — you describe the character, vibe, and end use; we confirm scope, deliverables, and licensing up front.
- Sketch — rough concepts for direction before anything is finalized.
- Refine — agreed revision rounds to dial it in.
- Deliver — final files in the formats you need (vector + raster), with your license terms in writing.
