About

Hello!
My name is Sebastian, a former Aerospace Engineering student who, deep down, always wanted to fly. Engineering, however, was only keeping me tethered to the ground, so I took a leap into the void and now I fly for real, exploring infinite worlds and limitless possibilities through creativity.

Now I work as a freelance illustrator and animator, creating colorful and impacting artworks for podcasts, books, websites and brands.

Relevant projects I’ve worked on are the Chispas editorial series by Rizzoli Education, regarding an illustrated narrative book for learning Spanish in schools (ages 11-14), the “Una Zebra in Corsia” crowdfunded health podcast, for which I created illustrations and graphics, and illustrations for EGAF Edizioni’s driver school manual, aimed at teaching traffic rules through humor.

Twice selected for Annual 2024 and Annual 2025, bronze medalist in the “Other illustration” category, Annual 2025, and winner of “Oltre il Ghetto” Illustration contest.
