Hi! My name is Carla :)
I'm a professional illustrator from the Philippines. It's a pleasure to meet you!
I began my career as a graphic designer before transitioning to a full-time illustrator.
Inspired by childhood, my work evokes wonder, adventure, and playfulness. I primarily work in vector art, adding subtle textures for a hand-drawn feel, and love bringing characters and stories to life.
I specialize in creating illustrations and products for the children’s market, including picture books, board books, educational and non-fiction works.
I welcome opportunities to collaborate, work with agents, or publish independently.
