About me
My name is Irina, and I'm an illustrator passionate about creating captivating worlds for children's books, packaging,advertising, board games, and more. For the past five years, I've been bringing stories to life through my unique style,primarily using raster editors. My illustrations are a reflection of my love for life and creativity, and each one tells a story that I want to share.
