Soraya studied Fashion Design in Amsterdam. After an internship at Elle and graduating she started working as a stylist for magazines such as VOGUE and Marie Claire and for Tommy Hillfiger.

"I always enjoyed drawing since I was a kid. When I started my instagram account H&M saw what I did and asked me to do illustrations for their Kenzo collab... that's where it all started".

Soraya's fashion illustrations are recognizable by an edgy style: exaggerated primary shapes, a watery mix of dazzling colors and fusion of acrylic drawings, often digitally manipulated. “I start with a feeling, shape or color. Then I sketch and draw with all kinds of material that I love, such as acrylic paint or ecoline cut-outs.

Soraya also designed an exclusive porcelain tableware line for the INDIGO exhibition!
