About

I’m Gabriela Morad de Rubio, an illustrator and visual arts educator with 17 years of experience teaching studio practice, color theory, and drawing fundamentals. I bring a strong background in character illustration, vector artwork, and product/packaging illustration, balancing brand guidelines with clear, engaging visual storytelling.

I’ve worked across children’s publishing, exhibitions and promotional design, and set graphics for large-scale music productions—always with an eye for composition, detail, and timely execution. With a B.F.A. in Illustration from Ringling College of Art and Design and ongoing graduate study in contemporary art history and visual culture, I’m now focused on returning to full-time creative illustration, leveraging my Adobe Illustrator skills and my ability to take direction and meet production deadlines.
