Hi!

I am an illustrator from Mataró, a Mediterranean city near Barcelona.

I graduated from the Children’s Book Illustration MA at Cambridge School of Art in 2020.

I love everything about illustration and storytelling. From picturebooks to comics. I enjoy experimenting with traditional and digital art - considering several techniques to find the one that matches the story.
