Vedika Mehra is an award-winning illustrator and visual designer based in Atlanta. She creates concept-driven illustrations using metaphor, playful storytelling, and graphic forms to transform everyday observations, emotions and intangible human experiences into visual narratives. Her practice spans editorial illustration, publishing, animation, and self-initiated projects, including zines and personal works.
Her work has been recognized by American Illustration, Communication Arts, World Illustration Awards, and Society of Illustrators Los Angeles. She holds an MFA in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design.
When not illustrating, she can be found crying, overthinking, reading, binge-watching, or over-drinking coffee.
