I am Silvia Alba, a multidisciplinary visual designer and illustrator who blends art with information to tell compelling stories. I collaborate with organizations to distill complex ideas into accessible visuals and to bridge linguistic barriers. I have a background in linguistics and design, and my work spans illustration, visual facilitation, data visualization, brand identity, and video production.
I volunteer regularly with Sister’s House in Brussels, supporting homeless refugee women, and I co-founded initiatives like BXL Refugees and Less Walls to humanize refugee experiences through art, theatre, and community programs. My practice combines research-driven approaches with hands-on prototyping and UX-focused visualization to help clients imagine and apply emerging technologies.
Sit, smile and let me do the rest. Add something a little different to your event with live portraits. As a live portrait artist, I create quick, expressive sketches on the spot, capturing people in a relaxed and playful way. Each drawing is made in the moment, becoming both entertainment and a personal takeaway. Perfect for weddings, parties, corporate events, and brand activations in Brussels and beyond. https://www.twine.net/signin
