My name is Ilana Blady- I’m a multidisciplinary artist and designer based in New York.
I have been lucky enough to live and and work here since 2015, when I graduated from Pratt Institute with a BFA in Communications Design. That July, I joined the team at Love and War, where I was an in-house designer/illustrator until 2025, and for whom I continue to do contract-based illustration work. I served as art director for up-and-coming jazz band Olivia K And The Parkers, including directing animation for their video “Good Things”(2021), and I have done freelance illustration work for clients like Adidas, Bindery Books, and Lincoln Center Theater.

In addition to my commercial and editorial work, I am also a passionate sketchbook-keeper and fiber artist. I live in Queens, where I spend my downtime drawing buildings and hanging out with my cat, Felicity.
