Hello! My name is Kidist and I’m a freelance illustrator and graphic designer living in Los Angeles, California. I fell in love with design as a teen and pursued a marketing degree to eventually work in creative marketing fields.

I’m currently a full-time Creative Project Manager. I launched Kidist the Illest to share my love for design and showcase my own personal projects. My biggest influences are 90's and early 2000’s RnB and Hip Hop (hit me up for playlists!). I love playing with color and patterns. I’m excited to start this journey!
