Allira Tee is an illustrator and author based in Melbourne, Australia.
She studied graphic design at university and worked in the industry for over ten years, before she found her passion in illustrating.

She has worked on a variety of commissions with clients from around the world, including Quarto (Ivy Press), Gardening Australia, Berbay Books, HarperCollins, Museums Victoria and Country Living UK.
Her debut picture book ‘Tiger and Cat’ which she wrote and illustrated, came out in August 2020 with Berbay Books. Her second book ‘When We Went Wild’ by author Isabella Tree was published with Quarto Books (Ivy Press) in March 2021.’The Day a Triceratops Turned Up’ by Mica Felix was published with Museums Victoria Publishing in May 2022.
Her illustrations are created using pencil, ink and/or digital techniques.
