I am Monica Vallerossa, an illustrator and visual designer with a passion for storytelling through image. I have created large-scale murals and immersive visual worlds, transforming spaces with colour and form to tell narratives. I am proactive, quick to learn new methods, and enjoy collaborating in teams as much as working independently to deliver high-quality results. I’m in love with exploring new techniques and tools, and I’ve earned a Master’s degree in Illustration for Publishing from the Bologna Academy of Fine Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Graphic and Illustration from the Catania Academy of Fine Arts. I pride myself on being well-organized, detail-oriented, and able to manage every aspect of a project with precision.
