Hi, I’m Leandro Rizzo. I’m a graphic designer, comic book artist and illustrator with a passion for storytelling through image and design. I’ve trained as a graphic designer at the University of Buenos Aires (UBA), and I’ve studied packaging and logo design, as well as comic book storytelling at the Gutenberg Foundation and Eugenio Zoppi school. Over the years I’ve created graphic novels, contributed to international comics projects, and collaborated with writers and studios on a variety of branding, illustration and design tasks. I love anatomy, color theory, hand-drawn and digital techniques, and collaborating with writers, editors and producers to bring stories to life. I’m fluent in English and Spanish and I can work with Italian as well. I regularly use Clip Studio Paint and the Adobe Creative Suite, and I’m comfortable with AI tools to support creative workflows. I’m open to freelance and collaborative opportunities across comics, illustration, and graphic design projects.
