Interview: Nicole Tan YingLi

Preferred Pronoun?
She/Her

Why did you choose to enter this work?
This project was an absolute joy to create from beginning to the end. Technology is a topic that I'm passionate about and with the rise of A.I., it is a topic worth exploring!

What’s your favourite thing about your shortlisted project?
I really enjoyed working with the minimal colour palette and the challenge of creating a cohesive card deck.

What excites you most about being shortlisted?
Being chosen amongst other amazing illustrators and artists!

Where do you usually work?
I've used the same HP Envy laptop since the beginning of my design journey and I'm glad that it has lasted thus far!

How long did it take to complete your project?
The entire card collection took around three weeks.

What is your dream commission?
I have many dream commissions and one of them would be to illustrate for the cover of a science magazine.

What’s your favourite thing to draw?
I enjoy drawing patterns in my free time as it is really therapeutic. But my favourite things to draw are abstract and conceptual ideas.

What is your best tip for other illustrators?
Enjoy what you do and never work a day.

What are your plans for the future?
I hope to take on more commissions and freelance projects!
