Artist of the month: Amanda Kwok

This month, we're honored to share two beautiful illustrations by our friend Amanda Kwok, a Los Angeles-based graphic designer and illustrator who finds poetry in life's everyday moments.

Her Valentine's Day piece captures what we cherish most: quiet intimacy over a cup of matcha with someone you love. Her Lunar New Year koi reminds us to move through the year with grace, perseverance, and flowing abundance.

Through pastel-hued illustrations and vintage-inspired characters, Amanda transforms simple rituals, a shared meal, a morning cup of tea, into something joyful and timeless.

Much like tea itself, her work invites us to pause and savor what might otherwise pass unnoticed.
