Hello! My name is Gigi Thienes, and I am a recent graduate from UC Berkeley with a BA in Landscape Architecture and French Language. Despite being a designer by trade, I have been an illustrator and artist my entire life! I love art, and my sketchbook goes wherever I go. I have recently finished a program in Paris where I spent 3 months interning at a landscape architecture firm, and did a 38 page thesis on the importance of landscape architects in preserving cultural heritage through the landscape. Now, I’m looking for any freelance illustration gigs to help people realize their dreams in the form of artwork :)…Hello!
