Emily Mendoza (Illustrator) Emily Mendoza (she/her) is a Mexican-American illustrator from Southern California. She journeyed all across the United States to receive her BFA in illustration from Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, NY and is now thriving in Queens! Growing up in CA, she was always surrounded by Mexican culture and tradition where she learned more about her Hispanic roots through her family, her communication and illustration. She loves using bright colours and vivid textures to showcase diversity and bring out excitement in her work.
