About

Hi there! I’m Francesca, a visual artist and freelance illustrator based in Bologna, Italy. I blend traditional and digital techniques to create character-driven illustrations and merchandise-ready artwork for a variety of clients, from indie writers to small brands. My work is fueled by curiosity, collaboration, and a love for vivid, story-filled imagery.

I enjoy exploring new techniques in ink, watercolor, and digital tools like Photoshop, Procreate, Clip Studio Paint, and Illustrator. I’m always learning, open to feedback, and excited to bring ideas to life through thoughtful design and playful storytelling.
