About





 Hi, I am Upasana Chadha!

I am an illustrator and storyteller who has always been inspired by nature and wildlife. My practice is primarily based on children's books and publications. I enjoy taking on projects where I create visually rich images that can be admired by everyone regardless of their age, and I have dipped my toes into many industries such as publishing, non-profit, education, social media, and editorial. However, I am always open to working on any project that interests me. Some clients I have worked with include Centre for Wildlife Studies India, Nature Conservation Foundation India, Current Conservation, Tota Books, Full Circle Publishers, World Wildlife Fund India and British Council India. In addition, I have dabbled my hands with a number of talented individuals.

Besides being a creator, I enjoy reading children's books, watching dramas from Eastern Asia, watching anime and snacking!

I am pursuing my Master of Design at The Glasgow School of Art. I am focusing on building my practice in publishing, picture books and storytelling. Glasgow is a beautiful city with a large artistic community that I enjoy becoming a part of. I do miss the Indian sun!

I would love to hear from you!
