About
Czacarri Muli is a Filipino-Irish illustrator and designer bringing a sense of warmth & care through playful image-making. His narrative approach to illustration seeks to connect people and inspire important conversations. Developing a community driven ethos that has nurtured an empathetic practice concerned with heritage storytelling and social change. He has been recognised by the Association of Illustrators as a 2026 Illustration Graduate to Watch and is currently a Raising Voices Fellow with Children’s Book Ireland. From championing diverse stories and engaging children through a textural, colourful and hands-on approach he is consistently committed to award winning projects. When Czacarri is not covered in paints, pastels and post-its, he can be found smelling the roses.
This silent picturebook reflects on the Irish seascape. With 90% of its territory lying within the seas and currently less than 10% of it protected, this story champions the responsibility of caring. This lack of protection means that trawling ships overharvest the seas that have held such a connection within local cultures. A local fisherman, the threat of a barren sea and a trawling ship polluting his home engage children globally to empathise with a story that is not solely unique to Ireland. Highlighting the importance of stewardship and preserving the magical and diverse seas.

With pastels, paints and pencils, Under Your Nose challenges perceptions of our least engaged sense. This book explores an alternative history of the fragrance history from the very beginning of time through over 100 illustrated pages that open up to be 1 meter wide. Illustrations critique the ways the perfumery industry has historically shaped the idea of the other - and continues to shape the other through seen, spoken and scented languages. Interested by acts of archiving and who archives them, I disseminate rich narratives to children that draw upon the fragrant from the big bang through to Mesopotamia, Egypt, India, China, Rome, France and then eventually where we are today. Displaying the care and cruelty that the world has offered. Highlighting the industries roots and ties to colonialism and orientalism, this narrative offers another perspective that champions histories of colour.
