Hello - I'm Sofia, a Portuguese illustrator and designer of colorful and playful artwork that aims to spark joy! I use a mix of traditional media and digital tools in my work and whether it’s a picture book, a greeting card line, children’s apparel, puzzles or brand storytelling, I’m passionate about crafting heartfelt visuals full of personality and bringing stories to life with empathy and visual charm.

My creative foundation began in early childhood, nurtured by family, supportive educators, and a love for doodling. Around 3-5 years old I had a phase where the white walls of our house were my main canvas of choice (my best work was made at godly hours of the morning when everyone was still asleep, ahah)! That joyful urge to create is still the heart of my work today, blending the magic of childhood with details of everyday life.

My versatile skill set spans book illustration, art licensing, product design, brand storytelling, and more. Since graduating with a bachelor's degree in Communication Design I’ve had the opportunity to collaborate with amazing people - authors, publishers and brands - on all sorts of creative projects across Europe and beyond.

Let’s collaborate! If you have a creative project in mind and want to work together, take a look at my CONTACT section to find out how best to get in touch in.

I worked on a series of three pictures books with Sofia and she always found ways to add clever easter eggs throughout each book after taking in the art notes and expanding on them. She also brought her own clever ideas through research so that the illustrations accurately depicted a full range of diverse characters. Sofia is a great communicator and working with her is always such a fun creative collaboration.
