Geri Coady

Hello!

I’m a Canadian-British illustrator, designer, and author with a background in graphic design and print production. While my work spans branding, editorial, and children’s books, I’m best known for Geri Draws Japan—a personal project that celebrates the rich history of Japan through illustration. I am constantly seeking new ways to combine digital illustration with printing techniques, and draw inspiration from mokuhanga woodblock printing. Recently, my creative journey has led me into the world of Grand Sumo wrestling, where I design fabrics and kimono motifs for top-division wrestlers, blending my love of illustration with Japan’s ancient traditions.
