Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolA Vacharat is a multidisciplinary creative based in Asheville, NC, who blends writing, illustration, and fine art—most distinctively painting on fountain pens—with a decade of professional experience. Currently a self-employed author and illustrator (her YA novel THIS MOTH SAW BRIGHTNESS debuts May 2025), she also commissions commercial artwork and hand-painted objects that lean toward the surreal and whimsical. Her background spans web and brand consulting, nonprofit founding and editorial leadership, and early front-end engineering, giving her a rare mix of narrative craft, visual design, and technical fluency. Trained in psychobiology, theater, and an MFA in creative writing, she brings layered storytelling and a sensitivity to form and pacing to every project. Former experience as a licensed massage therapist and workshop leader informs a patient, process-oriented approach to creation and collaboration. She aims to nudge familiar subjects into slightly off-kilter territory, inviting slow, curious engagement.
