About

I’m Sofia Berlina, an illustrator and graphic designer with over 7 years of experience bringing stories to life through compelling visual narratives. I have a strong background in book illustration, with a keen eye for composition, color, and character development, and I blend classical art training with modern digital techniques to create refined visual concepts. I enjoy collaborating with editors and clients to craft visuals that engage readers and audiences, while maintaining a clear and cohesive design language.

Based in Haifa, I work internationally as a freelance artist and designer, contributing to publishing projects, branding campaigns, and educational media. I’m adaptable, detail-oriented, and comfortable working independently or as part of a creative team, always aiming to translate ideas into polished, expressive visuals.
