ABOUT

Sadé is a Digital Illustrator, Journalist and Content Creator based in Toronto, Canada.

Sadé began creating digital artworks in 2018. Self-taught in her craft, her style is inspired by her affinity for hip-hop/pop culture, Japanese anime, tattoo art and themes from mythology. Combining elements from these categories she remixes familiar images with vibrant and bold colour schemes to create pieces that are whimsical, yet provocative. She is best known for her Chibi characters and “Morbid Maiden” portraits. Her most notable partnerships have been with the Toronto Raptors, Dairy Farmers Ontario, Roots Canada, Apple and MuchMusic.

With over seven years of journalism experience under her belt, Sadé has a knack for storytelling that pairs seamlessly with her passion for the arts, fashion, music, fitness and technology. Through her organic engagement with individuals and brands she continues to share impactful narratives with communities across North America. Her resumé includes published works in The Toronto Star, Urbanology Magazine, Liisbeth Media, RnbRadar and Sidewalk Hustle. As well as collaborations alongside brands like Nike, Hennessy Canada, The Toronto International Film Festival and TomTom Spark to create product and experience-based content for online publishing.

Sadé has been able to transfer her skills over to her current position at MuchMusic as an online host (VJ) creating content for the channel on platforms such as Youtube, TikTok, Instagram and Twitter.
