You seem busy. Are you still open to work?

I cannot deny that I am a busy soul, but I almost always find a way to make room for new projects. If you have something in mind, please feel free to reach out. I can usually shift things around when the right project comes along.

Do you work with international clients?

Yes. I regularly work with clients around the world.

If not, email and the internet make it easy for me to deliver the work you need from anywhere.

How long does a typical project take?

It truly depends! Anything from thirty minutes to a full year. Some editorial assignments move quickly, while books and large-scale projects develop slowly over weeks or months.

How can I commission an illustration from you?

The easiest way is to email me at haleighmun@gmail.com. Tell me a little about your project—what you’re dreaming of, when you need it, and how my artwork can support your vision. I love understanding the heart behind a project before I begin.

What kind of illustration projects do you take on?

I work across many different areas: editorial, brand collaborations, book covers and interiors, murals, artist talks, marketing and campaign visuals, and more. The list truly goes on. If a project allows me to tell a story or connect with people through drawing, I’m usually interested. I enjoy work that lets me play, experiment, and bring warmth into the world.

What is the budget?

Budgets can vary widely depending on the project. A larger budget is always welcome, of course, but I understand that it is not always the case. For me, what matters most is what the project is about and who I get to work with. If you are a kind person with a thoughtful or fun idea, feel free to reach out. I am always open to good people and good projects.

Why are you drawing like a child?

I admire that children draw with complete honesty, joy, and curiosity. Adults often overthink every line, but children simply draw. I try to keep that spirit alive in my own work. Playfulness, openness, and imagination guide most of what I create. Colored pencils also happen to be the medium that feels the most natural and enjoyable to me.

What are your goals as an illustrator?

I want my work to live in many places and reach many people. If my illustrations can bring someone a moment of warmth or remind them of their own quiet happiness, that already feels like success. I also want to keep growing without losing the childlike curiosity that made me fall in love with drawing in the first place. And one day, I imagine a studio filled with sunlight, stacks of pencils, and my dog Halo sleeping peacefully in the corner.
