Layla Jabbari
I’m a freelance illustrator from Hull, UK. I work closely with clients on work that often has story-telling and community at its centre. My projects have involved a variety of outcomes from animations, prints and zines to community art. My work playfully combines printmaking and collage layered in the digital space.
