I am freshly back from a very exciting weekend of live illustrating for different events for the 2025 WNBA Allstars Weekend that was held in Indianapolis!

I worked 3 events in 3 days, and it was a whirlwind of fun. My first event I was so excited about…I was going to work with one of my favorite fellow illustrators (my friend Schin) for a VIP after party event for the WNBA Allstars at a swanky rooftop hotel. It was so beautiful. We got dressed up, as we were told this would be a fashion forward event. So I was GAME!

We got to meet many people who work for the Indy Fever basketball league, the Pacers, and of course…the WNBA. After we wrapped our gig, I was able to dance on the floor for a few (Mario was the guest singer and really lit the place up) and spotted all the leagues top talent on the floor having a great time. Yes, Caitlin Clark and Sophie Cunningham! I loved seeing all the variety of fashion styles on these fabulous, hardworking, and strong women. It felt great to be in their company.

The following 2 days, I worked events with Coach. Coach was a sponsor for the weekend, and they really made me feel special to be apart of this weekend. I got to sport a beautiful leather vest & pinstriped pants they provided me…and I felt like a rockstar. It was such a treat to illustrate so many beautiful people all weekend.

I spent last year trying to envision working an event with professional athletes, so when I got this gig booked, it gave me goosebumps. So keep on dreaming big y’all!

Here are some of the photos from live illustrating at the WNBA Allstars weekend!
