Hi! I’m Kali. I’m an illustrator.

I made these illustrations for a kids and adults intro Dungeons and Dragons game. The kids and adults playing in the campaign gave artistic direction, and I created their characters and corresponding campaign for them to play. It was a hit!

Tickets to Mental Health

TicketstoMentalHealth1.jpg

The goal of the Mental Health collection is to offer three tickets to people who may need to give themselves permission to take care of themselves. This collection serves as an artistic reminder that people can take up space, have their feelings validated, and make them for their mental health. The dimensions and design of these mental health tickets are based off of vintage train ticket designs.

These tickets are designed using the soft colors of Seeking Eden to give the viewer something calming to look at or hold in their hand if they are feeling overwhelmed. The card designs also have hole-punched letters for the customer to feel if they are feeling overstimulated.
