JOANNA SEVILLA (aka AYCE Doodles)
is a Filipino-Canadian Illustrator inspired by memories, nature, relationships, and navigating big emotions.

Through her illustration, she hopes to contribute to positive change within her community. She understands the importance of visibility and accessibility in storytelling and that representation in our narratives is necessary to create a sense of belonging in young readers. When she isn't drawing, she enjoys visiting local galleries, quilting, hiking, and indulging in cozy fantasy and graphic novels.
