Ambi Sun is a Malaysian-born Graphic Designer and Illustrator based in Melbourne, Australia. Her illustration style is intricate and often features florals and stars. As an Illustrator, She aims to create work that does not confine to personal expression, but is educational and also deeply intertwined with the human experience. Through her work, she aspires to bridge the gap between the ordinary and the fantastical, inviting audiences to explore the depths of their imagination and connect with the universal aspects of the human experience through lines and colours. At the core of her purpose lies the belief that art possesses the unique ability to break barriers, unite cultures, and challenge perceptions.
