About

Hello! I’m Nella, a creative soul passionate about bringing stories to life through illustrations and concept art. I explored the art world while learning about concept art, marble sculpture, motion design, illustration and oil painting. I thrive in freelance projects that allow me to explore my artistic capabilities especially in kids books and board games.

I used to work in the video game industry as a concept artist, and I do many game jam to keep working with a team on creative project.

Over the years, I have focused my skills in character design, illustration, and visual stoy telling. My journey has taken me through numerous artistic adventures with books and games , and I love using my creativity to make a positive impact in children’s literature with a lot inclusivity and representing a diversity of bodies, explaining mental health and more.

I am also interested in nature and naturalist illustration, and would love to develop more art around scientific explanations, vulgarisation , mostly with birds and mushroom.
