Josiane Vlitos (illustrator) is from Prince Edward Island and has a background in Communication Design. Inspired by her English childhood of castles, forts, and beachcombing, her work features bright palettes, playful characters, and magical worlds.

She aims to spark joy and positive change through themes of inclusion, sustainability, and self-love. When not illustrating, she's reading, beachcombing, or daydreaming--usually with a biscuit in hand. Josiane lives in Charlottetown with her husband, daughter, and rabbit.
