Creative To Creative is a podcast where I sit down with some of today’s dopest creative minds. Whether it’s an entrepreneur, designer, illustrator, or photographer; we talk about their success story and the creative process that got them there. It’s a great way for creatives and entrepreneurs to get some advice on how to tackle their business and personal life.

I’m always asking other creatives about their creative process and the things they struggle with. It allows me to understand how I can better support those in my industry. These conversations also help me improve my own creative process by hearing other perspectives.

Alexis Eke is an illustrator and designer based in Toronto, Ontario. Inspired by Renaissance portraits and traditional Japanese art, she illustrates Black women in a contemporary light. Her mission is to expand the representation of Black women in design and to evangelize, by creating a space for audiences to deeply reflect on themselves and their relationship with God.

With the foundation of a strong female Caribbean upbringing and relationship with God, she aims to use these important aspects to design a unique space for audiences to view her work. Growing up with women with strong personalities, she has always viewed women as resilient and independent. This has later translated into her artwork, as all of her illustrations are of women, to reflect her cultural and personal experience.

Her clients include Adidas, the Art Gallery of Ontario, CBC, Globe and Mail, Nike Jordan, Palm BaySpritz, Polaris Music Prize––among others.
