Hi, I’m Gabriela Rodrigues, a detail‑oriented visual artist who loves exploring multiple media to translate ideas beyond paper and screen. I’m an Illustrator and Fashion Designer with a solid foundation in digital illustration and animation, plus hands‑on garment production experience. I founded Gaby Oak to bring concept‑to‑production design objects that blend craft, storytelling, and a universal aesthetic. I work closely with clients on commissions and run my own brand, leading product design, branding, and online store management. I enjoy engaging with design fairs, pushing technical boundaries—from 3D exploded product illustrations to silk‑screen printing—and constantly learning new media to express ideas in fresh, tangible ways.
