ABOUT

Shoe and accessory designer, Nalini Arora, always had a love for fashion illustration. When she wasn’t working as a freelance designer, she would spend her days off drawing playful shoe designs for her blog, L.A. Shoegirl.

 Pre-social media, snail mail was her preferred way to communicate with clients. During the holidays, Nalini would draw shoes with a sense of humor to send her clients some holiday cheer. Those annual greeting cards soon became collector’s pieces among her friends and clientele, so she decided to make her artwork available to everyone obsessed with shoes.

 L.A. Shoegirl is inspired by Nalini’s career as a shoe designer, walking in Downtown Los Angeles with her pup London and sketching whimsical, fantasy-filled designs.
