Hey! Welcome to my Patreon page!

I’m Iliana, but most know me as GrowMija. I’m a Queer Latinx illustrator, mother and pug whisperer currently based in Houston. (But hop around between here and my hometown in L.A. No better way to get over my fear of flying than to hop between states) I’ve been a freelance illustrator for over a year, but just made the jump to full-time freelance in June.  

I started GrowMija as a love letter to my youngest sister, Chach, to show her art that looked like her and to let her know how amazing she is. Now I want to share my love letter to brown girls all over the world. My message is simple:


I believe that we should be represented in art and my work is creating more space for women of color. Your support helps me bring my beautiful work to life. (not to mention helping ya girl pay some bills)

How it works

If you like my work, and you want to help me, just choose how much you want to pledge per month (even $1 makes a difference!) and select some cool perks like, Q&A’s, secret podcast journal, learn more about the projects I’m currently working on, free downloads, discounts and even prints!

And don’t worry! You can edit or cancel your pledge anytime you want.

♥I appreciate any support of my art y’all are willing to give, thanks for being apart of my gang♥
