About

Hi, my name is Anika Lacerte (she/her) and I am the artist and creator of The Handcrafted Story. I am an illustrator and surface pattern designer based near Victoria, BC, Canada.

In my work, I want to create meaningful, encouraging messages. I use simple, hand-drawn shapes and clean lines. My ideal projects include surface pattern design, hand lettering, and greeting cards.

I have been drawing every day since 2016. I am currently drawing on photos in the Procreate App. You can see what that looks like on Instagram @TheHandcraftedStory, and learn how to do it yourself in my video class.

Sometimes I turn the drawings into repeat patterns. I also make printables to inspire your creativity and story-telling, like my DIY calendars, Conversation Starters, kids activities, banners, goal trackers and my popular Advent Art Journal.

P.S. Get my bi-weekly newsletter with my newest patterns as well as creative things for you to make, read and listen, link on my website.
