Q&A

Who's a female you look up to?

I am in love with the work of different illustrators like Leah Reena Goren, Alessandra Genualdo, Anna Bond, Bodil Jane, and Lorraine Sorlet.

What's the best advice you've

ever received?

Other illustrators taught me it is very important to be calm and understand this path can be a slow one. It's going to take time to see some results.

What's the scariest thing you've ever done and how has that changed you?

Probably to decide to be an illustrator. I studied graphic design, so in the beginning I did not think I could be anything else; Later, I saw I was able to pursue this carer and decided to take the chance. At the very first moment it was terrifying, but now I'm very happy!

"It's important for me that I'm in charge of my time. I find it really important to be as free as possible and to be able to accept the collaborations I really want to do."
