Maithili is a South Asian illustrator and cover designer from India, based in New York.
Since graduating from the School of Visual Arts, she has been working with various publishers to create illustrations for picture books, while also designing MG/YA novel covers with Scholastic, where she works full time.
Maithili loves a rich, textured finish to her work, which tends to be playful, delicate and subtly whimsical. Childhood anecdotes, books and interesting conversations inspire her more personal work.
