Hi! I’m Anoosha and I work as a children’s book illustrator and animator. I’m 24 years old (a Scorpio, if that matters), and Canadian. Because my dad works at an international company, we moved around a lot when I was growing up, living in Saudi, Pakistan, Dubai, Switzerland, Toronto and now Dallas.  I’m an ambitious person who loves her job (maybe a bit of a workaholic). I studied in a fine arts school in Switzerland (my graduating class was 10 people, it was pretty competitive!) three years ago where I got my BFA in illustration. Since then I’ve been working on animated tv shows (working with clients like Disney, Dreamworks and PBS). I also illustrate children’s book, and have more than 16 published already. My dream is to one day be the creator of my own tv show featuring brown/Muslim characters; as I’m always try to push for representation in my work.
 I’m also a proud feminist and activist, and try to be involved with the community and protesting for equality and social justice when I can. I’m mildly famous on the internet (verified on twitter haha) and I try to use my platform for good. When I’m not drawing, I like to run, play video games (I’m a comic con type of girl), listen to podcasts, or binge tv shows. I’m a huge theatre junkie; I’d love to be able to watch every Broadway musical!
I’m the second of four girls: my older sister lives in Dubai with her husband and newborn (she studied marketing in Sharjah and did her masters in Switzerland). My younger sister lives in Toronto where she’s doing a double major of Environmental Science and Business Management, and my youngest sister is a senior in  Highschool (I live with her, my parents and my cat in Dallas).
