Hello
I’m Ri, an arts and design major and concha connoisseur based in MI.
I love fashion/dressing up, quirky colors/patterns, botany, alpacas and trying new things. I have had a passion for art ever since elementary and hope to pursue it to match my dreams. One dream I’ve had was to be a fashion designer living on a beach ... I now despise sand but love to design many different things: fashion, illustration, graphics and more.
I created the characters Astrid the Alpaca/Alpakka, Britta the Bunny/Kanin and Benoit the Bear/Björn. Because Astrid is confused for a sheep or llama, she goes on adventures to meet new friends and discover who she is; through her, she teaches self-love and confidence. Her friend group is diverse to show that everyone is different and can always be friends. My dream for them is to be illustrated+published and sold to many people of all ages to grow with Astrid. See Love_Alpakka on Insta to follow along their adventures and purchase your own Astrid!
