Hi, my name is Carla. I'm a freelance illustrator.
1986 vintage. Absolutely in love with mid-century modern design. Rule of thirds practicant. Vectors & China Ink are my raw materials.
I started as an art director in advertising agencies in 2011 but I flew away a year after. I've been working as a freelance since then. As a worldwide illustrator thanks to JSR Agency. And as a graphic designer mostly in Spain.
You can take a peak at my work process here.
