Welcome to my creative corner!
Hello there! I'm Sharon Vidan-Kashti, a graphic designer turned illustrator, educator, and creator of creativity kits, workshops, and interactive products. Join me in this cosy space where creativity and connection thrive!
About Me:
I live in the creative and vibrant neighbourhood of Stoke Newington in London. For the past 15 years, I've been a graphic designer in London's top agencies and worked with small businesses and startups. However, during the lockdown, I embarked on a new adventure, spending my evenings writing and illustrating my very own children's picture book, "My Heart Is Here and There." I self-published it to experience the entire book lifecycle as the author, designer, illustrator, and publisher (a bit tiring, but oh-so rewarding!).
Creative Inspirations:
Every project I undertake begins with thoughtful consideration. Drawing inspiration from folktales, nature, childhood, dreams and psychology, I carry my sketchbook everywhere and draw inspiration from my surroundings. I aim to infuse meaning into my creations. My illustration style combines life drawing skills, digitally enhanced in Photoshop or Procreate. I love crafting textured, layered, and imaginative images with a touch of nostalgia and folklore.
Connecting Through Workshops:
Beyond my projects, I deliver book cover design workshops in schools and cultural centres. It's a joy connecting with children and parents and sharing the magic of storytelling and creativity.
