Available to hire
I’m Alice Nainer, an illustrator and designer based in Trento, Italy. I discovered my love for drawing as a child and studied at IED Milano in Animation and Illustration, which shaped my approach to storytelling through imagery, color, and light.
As a freelancer, I collaborate with museums, schools and private clients to create evocative illustrations, editorial art, and children’s books. I enjoy learning new techniques, sharing my process with others, and bringing characters and settings to life.
