I’m a children’s book illustrator with a passion for creating gentle, emotive worlds where stories can truly breathe.
My work is inspired by childhood imagination, nature, and storytelling, with a focus on character-driven scenes and soft, narrative-rich compositions. I love collaborating with authors to transform their ideas into visually engaging books that connect with young readers.
I work on picture books, character design, and editorial illustration, guiding projects from concept to final artwork.
Open to freelance collaborations worldwide (English / Spanish).
I created from beginning to end a children’s book to raise money and help families in need after the 2024 DANA de Valencia covered more than 70 towns with mud.
I wrote, illustrated and made the layout for the whole thing.
I created, wrote and illustrated the children’s book “Calista, Simón y el día marrón” meant to help kids get over the tragedy they lived after the 2024 DANA in Valencia covered their towns with mud. This book was meant to help the go through the process of understanding and supporting them, and it was also to raised money to help all the families in need after the tragedy. The publisher end up running away with the money raised.
I wrote the story, illustrated the entire book, made the book layout and design, designed covers and spine. Made all the files high quality print ready and promoted the book afterwards.
