Hi! I'm Carla Mendoza, a children's illustrator based in the Philippines.
I’ve always been inspired by the wonder of storytelling, and I love creating playful, character-driven illustrations filled with adventure and heart. With a background in graphic design, I primarily work in vector art, adding subtle textures to give my work a warmer, hand-crafted feel.
I’m especially drawn to picture books and narrative projects, and I’m also interested in developing work for board books and educational titles.
I’m currently seeking representation and would love the opportunity to collaborate within the children’s publishing world.
