Suki Ferguson is a writer. She practices nature worship, is an advocate for climate justice, and is the author of Young Oracle Tarot: An initiation into tarot's mystic wisdom (Quarto, 2022). After growing up in a rural part of Britain, she now lives in London, where she can be found reading tarot, wild swimming, and appreciating the local flora and fauna. Camelia Pham is a Vietnamese illustrator and art director based in Hanoi. After discovering a love of conceptual, storytelling illustration, she now finds herself illustrating full-time on a variety of projects from editorial features to advertising campaigns and narrative projects. Her art style utilises strong colours, bold geometry, and kaleidoscopic textures to create a portfolio of work that is both complex in textures and thoughtful in concepts. Camelia began illustrating as a way to remedy the pressures of the education system and express her feelings on different subjects that are close to her heart.
