I'm a Colombian-Canadian illustrator who loves animals, nature, cute characters, and fun colors. My art is for kids—and for the grown-ups who never grew out of loving magical stories and lots of color.

After leaving a corporate career in Project Management, I decided to follow my dream of making art my full-time job. Today, I license my illustrations and patterns to companies worldwide for use on puzzles, stationery, fabrics, editorial, and more. I’m also a Top Teacher on Skillshare, where I’ve had the joy of teaching surface design and illustration to over 130,000 students around the globe.

Procreate has become my go-to tool for most of my artwork. Its simplicity, portability, and versatility allow me to create anywhere: whether I’m sketching at home, travelling, or exploring new ideas on the go. It helps me stay creative, playful, and always experimenting.

I’m passionate about making art that spreads joy and believe creativity can positively impact the world. That’s why I not only design fun, colorful worlds but also share what I’ve learned to help others express themselves through art.
