Hi! I’m Isabel, I’m a freelance illustrator based in Madrid (Spain).
My work is graphic and detail oriented, I’m constantly exploring color, shape and texture in pursuit of communicating concepts and solving visual problems in the best way possible. I find inspiration in very different places: on the street, the internet, in movies, architecture, folk art and attire.
I mostly work digitally, but occasionally I create analog tools, especially when working on personal projects.
Some of my clients that I’ve collaborated with over the years are Abode Spain, Institut Français, The Architectural Review, Vogue, Brief Festival and Forbes. And I’ve taken part in solo as well as collective shows.
