A New Kid Everywhere
I grew up across Saudi Arabia, Dubai, and Pakistan. As the perpetual new kid, I found comfort in stories and sketchbooks.

Hi, I'm
Lubhangi!
I like to call myself
a woman of many hats.
Because choosing just one is impossible for me!
I'm an illustrator and author with over a decade of experience in character design, animation, and publishing. I've illustrated dozens of children's books and continue to build stories that center joy, wonder, and identity.
That's why I'm passionate about helping other artists avoid the same traps.
Through speaking, resources, and practical advice, I share ways to make an art career feel less overwhelming for emerging creatives.
From picture books to public speaking, each part of my work stretches my creativity in a new direction.
Every artist has their own winding path, and I'd love to share mine with you.

A Creative Reset
I left my first university path and committed to visual storytelling. That choice reshaped my work and my confidence.

Books, Motherhood, and Momentum
Now I juggle parenting with illustration and writing. Each chapter has made my art bolder, warmer, and more intentional.
