Paw is an illustrator and science educator from Shah Alam, Malaysia. She creates stylised, story-driven pieces that tap into escapism and nostalgia.
She graduated with a bachelor’s degree in geology in Sabah and has been creating art since 2021. When she isn’t drawing, she spends her time watching tear-jerking movies or thinking about going to the gym.
She is a member of the Association of Illustrators.

"Working with Paw on naein’s Wanita Nusantara Terakhir collection was a smooth and enjoyable experience. Not only did she bring fresh ideas and incredible talent to the designs, she was also open to feedback and worked closely with us to create an end product that both was marketable for our brand and showcased her artistic flair."
"Bekerja dengan Paw Wahab adalah pengalaman yang sangat lancar dan profesional. Beliau adalah ilustrator yang berbakat besar dan mempunyai pemahaman yang mendalam tentang bagaimana visual perlumenterjemahkan naratif sesebuah cerita. Paw telah mengendalikan ilustrasi kulit novel terbitan Mangosteeen Books, iaitu Maxwell Hill: Tersingkap Rahsia Gelap dan Siri Serunai Maut. Bukan itu sahaja, beliau turut cemerlang dalam menghasilkan ilustrasi karakter dan adegan (scene) yang terdapat di dalam setiap buku. Hasil kerjanya bukan sahaja memukau tetapi juga berjaya menangkap aura dan misteri gelap novel-novel ini dengan sempurna,
menjadikannya bernilai tinggi untuk pasaran dan memberikan nilai tambah kepada kandungan dalaman.
Komitmen Paw terhadap kualiti, komunikasi yang pantas, dan keupayaan untuk menepati had masa adalah sangat berkualiti. Kami amat berpuas hati dan pasti akan bekerjasama dengan Paw lagi untuk projek akan datang. Sangat disyorkan!"
"Working with Paw for my wedding reception illustrations has been such a beautiful experience. She understood my vision so effortlessly and transformed it into artwork that felt personal, meaningful, and truly magical. Every detail—every stroke—captured our story so perfectly. The illustrations brought so much life and warmth to our reception concept, and I couldn’t be more grateful for her creativity, patience, and dedication. Thank you, Paw, for creating something we will cherish forever. You turned our memories into art."
