Hi! I'm Marina, a freelance 2D illustrator and character designer specializing in character design and background illustration for animation and storytelling projects. I trained at the Scuola Romana dei Fumetti, where I completed a specialization course in children's illustration. In 2025 I furthered my training with an editorial illustration course, developing work based on professional briefs. I have professional experience working with GradeSaver, an American educational platform, where I designed characters and backgrounds for animated YouTube videos based on literary classics such as the Iliad, the Odyssey, and Dante's Inferno. My work was created on separate layers, ready for animation by the production team. I also worked as a colorist on a comic book project presented at Lucca Comics & Games 2021, one of Europe's most prestigious comics festivals. Beyond studio collaborations, I work with private clients on illustration projects ranging from editorial to narrative, children's publishing, and advertising. My style adapts across genres — from historical and mythological settings to sci-fi, fantasy, and gothic narratives. Available for remote freelance projects worldwide.
