Available to hire
Hi, I’m María Cecilia Botero Isaza, a Visual Designer and Illustrator based in Hamburg, Germany. I have a passion for creating inclusive and emotionally engaging designs with a soft, approachable style. My work seamlessly blends illustration, lettering, and clear communication, especially focusing on causes such as education, mental health, women’s well-being, and sustainability. With a background in education, storytelling, and translation, I bring a unique perspective to my creative projects.
Besides my design and illustration skills, I also have extensive experience in translation, particularly medical translation between English and Spanish. Fluent in Spanish and English, with intermediate German, I enjoy combining creativity with clear communication to make a positive impact through my work.
