Hello! I’m an illustrator and designer with over 12 years of experience creating for the children’s universe, a space where I’ve found the possibility of bringing playful worlds to life. My background spans the development of prints for clothing collections and decorative surfaces such as wallpapers, always with a focus on building fun, sensitive, and visually engaging worlds. Over time, illustration, specifically children’s illustration, became not just part of my work, but its core. I’ve illustrated two published books, projects that deepened my connection to narrative and strengthened my ability to translate stories into images. I’m really eager to find new projects to collaborate on and expand my abilities in this field, bringing books that can make kids dream, laugh, and share their imagination with the world too.
