It has been a while since I last introduced myself It has been a while since I last introduced myself! So, I wanted to stop by your feed, say hello, and thank you for your support. 
My name is Doria. I am a French illustrator based in London, and yes—I am 43, even if my skincare routine begs to differ! 
My journey started back in 2009 when I created a comic character called MissBB for my beauty blog dedicated to Black women.
The core of my work has always been about representation. I create because our stories, our beauty, and our voices deserve to be celebrated beautifully and authentically. My art is where Amara, Afropolitan culture, and Parisian chic meet.
Beyond my personal projects, I love bringing your visions to life through custom illustrations and bespoke book covers.
🎨 Want to bring a piece of this world home?
My shop is officially open! You can find my collection of:
* Greeting cards & vibrant art prints
* Wellness guides & mindful colouring books
* My original comic books
Shipping worldwide.
If my art speaks to you, please share this post, tag a friend, or save it for later! Every share helps an independent artist grow. 
Head over to the link in my bio to explore the shop. Thank you for being here! x
