About

Chanté Timothy is an illustrator who loves experimenting with movement, vibrant colour, character design and storytelling.

Drawing for as long as she can remember, she’s always been that strange kid who’d ask for paper and pen to entertain herself instead of playing with toys.

Chanté is a Pathways into Children’s Publishing 2019 - 2021 Alumni. So far she can be found in seven amazing titles:

• Hey You! by Dapo Adeola,

• Daddy Do My Hair: Beth’s Twists by Tola Okogwu

• Legacies by The Black Curriculum

• BeYoutiful by Shelina Janmohamed

• My Big Mouth by Steven Camden

• Happy Here - introduced by Sharna Jackson alongside 10 Black British authors and 10 Illustrators

• A Black Woman Did That by Malaika Adero

The one thing she enjoys most about being an illustrator is the wide variety of subject matters you learn about on the job, you’d think most of the studying would be left at school but Chanté often finds herself learning new facts and interesting concepts from given briefs.
