They graduated from the Academy of Art University in San Francisco, California in 2020 with a BFA in Illustration. They are based in California, USA.

As an Illustrator, UNIQDELIGHT’s artwork is heavily influenced by the need to tell diverse stories with a fantastical element. They also love participating in zines as a way to interact with different communities, styles and subject matter.
