My name is Irina [ EE - r ee - n uh ], and I am a Romanian freelance digital illustrator living and working in London, UK. Throughout the years, I developed a contemporary, fun and colourful style characterised by rich textures and characters with star-shaped eyes.

I enjoy observing the least obvious things around me and telling a story with each illustration I create. When I’m not drawing, I like going for walks in nature, finding good coffee spots and eating too much chocolate.
