Hi, I'm Victoria, an illustrator with a heart for storytelling and emotion. I specialize in crafting narrative-driven artwork for picture books, young adult covers, and editorial illustrations. With a strong foundation in visual communication and character-driven design, I bring stories to life through expressive compositions, thoughtful palettes, and a deep sensitivity to narrative tone. Outside of book and editorial work, I’m also the founder of Tori’s Studio, where I capture moments through live event illustrations, adapting my style to match the energy and atmosphere of each occasion. Whether working independently or alongside creative teams, I enjoy translating ideas into meaningful visuals that resonate with diverse audiences. I'm always seeking to grow, collaborate, and create illustrations that not only look beautiful—but say something that stays.
