About

I am a Galician drafter and designer with a strong passion for illustration. While my professional background is in engineering and drafting, illustration has been a long-time creative pursuit. Over the years, I have created commissioned works for private clients as well as cultural institutions, including the Culture Ministry and Xacobeo.

I work primarily with Procreate, developing a style that is both adaptable to client guidelines and marked by an elegant, fresh touch. I have a deep appreciation for architectural sketching and field-notebook style drawings, where annotations and spontaneity bring ideas to life.

I enjoy balancing precision with creativity, offering illustrations that feel both thoughtful and visually engaging.

Children’s Guide Character Illustration – “Iago on the Camino de Invierno” (commissioned and published by the Xacobeo / Regional Ministry of Culture of the Government of Galicia) I illustrated Iago, an adventurous and curious boy created to guide young readers through the Camino de Invierno (Winter Way), one of the historic pilgrimage routes to Santiago de Compostela. The project was officially published on the Xacobeo website, as part of an initiative supported by the Regional Ministry of Culture of the Government of Galicia. The illustrations aimed to combine charm and clarity, offering a relatable children’s character who could spark curiosity about cultural heritage while making the Camino experience accessible and engaging for a younger audience.
