Hello!
I'm Roshi Rouzbehani, a freelance illustrator based in London, UK, originally from Iran. As an artist committed to social issues like gender equality and women's rights my art is more than just visuals – it's a tool for change and dialogue. My goal is to use art to start conversations, raise awareness, and make a meaningful impact.
Reach out to me directly at roshanak.r@gmail.com to discuss your ideas and let's embark on a journey to create something extraordinary together!
