Maral Sassouni is our first ‘illustratot of the week’ for the new year at Illustrophile! That’s right – for this year, we’re going to feature folks for an entire week! We hope that the extended exposure will help the people we feature, and that it will give readers more time to appreciate their wonderful work.

Maral was born in the US but she has lived in the US and Europe, and is currently calling Paris home. She works in watercolor, ink, gouache and digital media, and her work has graced world-renowned publications like the Wall Street Journal, Harvard Business Review and the Washington Post. Check out an interview with her here.
