Available to hire
I’m Alejandra Matiz (Matiba), a Colombian illustrator and graphic designer with nearly 8 years of experience working across editorial, advertising, UI/UX illustration, and pre-production for motion graphics. My passion lies in creating thoughtful, meaningful design that tells stories and connects with people.
I’m particularly passionate about creating for children and young audiences—stories that feel both playful and meaningful. Every project is an opportunity to bring ideas to life through illustration and design, though I’m always open to exploring other narratives and audiences.
Feel free to say hello—I’d love to connect and collaborate. Email not available. Sign in: https://www.twine.net/signup
