Fyonna Laddaran is a Philippines-born, Canada-raised illustrator and designer based in Vancouver, BC. Her practice focuses primarily on visual storytelling, with an emphasis on illustration and visual identity. Driven by her deep curiosity, she aspires to share and amplify people’s stories through the cultivation of human connection and the building of community in her designs. Fyonna’s aesthetic approach is often guided by a sense of play, aiming to inspire joy and child-like wonder through the use of vibrant colours, playful illustrations, and messages of encouragement. As a Chinese-Filipino immigrant, she is also interested in incorporating her cultural background in her design practice, particularly exploring the intersectionality of one's identity. 

When Fyonna is not creating artwork, you can find her exploring Vancouver’s many restaurants, jamming out to 2010's top 40’s list, or binging true crime documentaries.
