I'm Iasmin Omar Ata — also known as Delta! — a comics artist, game developer, illustrator, animator, character & background designer, and sound designer who creates art with themes of self-acceptance, living with illness, and the light of better futures. I’m known for my graphic novels MIS(H)ADRA, NAYRA AND THE DJINN, and WALLFLOWER, as well as my work on the SONIC THE HEDGEHOG series. (They/them pronouns, please!)

I'm an Ignatz Award winner and Excellence In Graphic Literature Award finalist; I’ve been interviewed & reviewed by Kirkus, Publishers Weekly, Electronic Intifada, Library Journal, Polygon, Famitsu, and NPR, just to name a few! I've worked with clients/groups such as SEGA, Jackbox Games, Pillow Fight Games, L’Institut du Monde Arabe, Art Palestine International, The Nib, The Texas Observer, and more; I’ve also guest lectured in storytelling-based classes and seminars at Harvard University, Johns-Hopkins University, Ohio State University, and University of Maryland, along with many other schools and institutions. My work has been featured in multiple award-winning and nominated anthologies, and showcased in galleries, conferences, and seminars all around the world — including France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Lebanon, and Palestine.

Dedication and dreams are my lifeblood, and I believe wholeheartedly in the healing power of comics, games, and all forms of art that encourage us all to keep going every day. I love working with others to create fun & kind things, so let’s make powerful things together!
