Hi, I'm Natalia Averianova, a passionate visual storyteller based in Brussels, Belgium. With over a decade of experience as a freelance illustrator, animator, and designer, I love bringing stories to life through children’s books, editorial work, and storyboards. My journey in art and animation has taken me from Moscow to Brussels, and I enjoy using a variety of traditional handmade techniques alongside digital tools to create unique and engaging visuals. I thrive on working independently from concept to final result, blending skills in drawing, painting, and animation with strong research and interpersonal abilities. When I'm not creating, I also enjoy sharing my knowledge as an art teacher. I'm fluent in English, French, Dutch, and Russian, which allows me to connect with diverse creative communities around the world.
