Shortly, I love children and I love books, so I became a children’s books illustrator. I live in Oradea, the only city in Romania with breathtaking Art Nouveau palaces. It looks like a smaller Vienna, such inspiring for an artist. Even now you can probably find me in my home illustrating, reading or searching for inspiration. By my side are always my two cats and a cup of coffee. I’m 27 and I’ve been illustrating as a full time job for almost 4 years. I worked with people from all around the globe such as The U.S., Australia, Germany and Romania. I like to work with the authors and publishing houses as a team in order to create books that move people and leave a mark. Our goal is to make children laugh, to help people feel less alone in their struggles and to spread love, empathy and compassion.

    How important it is for children to have a role model in their life? When speaking about bravery many will say that their dad is a key figure.
