Hi, I’m Sara Hegyi, a creative illustrator with an international background in fashion design, visual storytelling, and traditional and digital art. I love crafting expressive characters and imaginative worlds for children, blending couture-inspired detail with playful illustration. I hold three degrees and two master’s qualifications, with experience spanning couture, textiles, illustration, painting, and graphic design. I studied speech therapy and volunteered with children, and growing up in a large family as an aunt to three nieces has shaped my collaborative, storytelling approach. I’m seeking opportunities to collaborate with authors and publishers.
