Hi there, I’m Arlo Li!
I’m a freelance children’s illustrator with a strong background in graphic design, offering a unique blend of Eastern aesthetics and direct insights into everyday American life. Born and raised in China, I now reside in a quiet small town in the U.S., where daily moments continue to inspire my belief that illustration can transcend language and culture, bringing warmth and imagination to everyone.

My style features bright colors, subtle lighting, and a detail-oriented approach, always aiming to capture those fleeting sparks of wonder and emotion in seemingly ordinary settings. I value close communication, ensure on-time delivery, and strive to balance artistic expression with commercial viability.

I’ve collaborated with clients such as Carson Dellosa Education, Girls who don’t D&D, Pixar, Amazon, and Snow Companies, and I’m also represented internationally by the wonderful agency Lemonade, connecting me with projects around the globe. If you enjoy my work, let’s team up and bring more color and inspiration to your next project!
