Zhara Millett is a queer British-Indian illustrator based in Nottingham, who has been drawing, scribbling and painting since she was a small child growing up in Derby. Since graduating in 2020 from Birmingham City, she has worked with private clients, running an Etsy storefront, and most recently illustrating for Leftlion. Her work is full of her love for bright colours and dynamic lines, and a focus on evolving with each project. She is inspired by the independent creative scene in Nottingham and online. Outside of work, Zhara can be often found in Blend cafe scribbling away in her stickercovered sketchbook and filming the creative process for her online presence. In her downtime you may find her tucked into a fiction novel in the nearest café or absorbed into her Nintendo Switch these days she is rarely spotted without her noise-cancelling headphones. See Zhara’s illustrations on page 37 and follow her at @zharamillett.
