Dani Choi
Illustrator
Dani Choi is an illustrator who divides her time between Brooklyn and Seoul. Since moving to New York City in 2018, Dani has been creating colorful, vibrant images and experimenting with varied styles of drawing, until she landed on the current surreal, detailed style. Her tendency to include many layers with hidden narratives and symbols was born from her love for allegories and ambiguity. She believes that the magic of illustration lies in depicting an image that cannot be recreated in the physical world.
