Sara is a freelance illustrator based in Milan. Following her passion for illustration as a self-taught artist, Sara attended the IED (European Institute of Design). Her previous studies gave her a style that is based on concept and communication above all. Sara has always loved working with pencils but her Ipad Pro and Procreate have enabled her to find a good balance between pencil and spot color, digital and analog. She also knows how to work fluently with Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, and InDesign. Sara's experiences placed her at the Palazzo Ducale Genova exhibition for winning the Fedriani Prize of the ‘Associazione Autori d’Immagine’. In recent months, she has worked on Italian advertising campaigns with Negroni for a poster for Artigiano In Fiera and La Feltrinelli, for their Christmas campaign. Sara has also illustrated three articles for Maremosso magazines by Feltrinelli Editore. In September 2022, her first illustrated book 'Nerino Pulcino' was published by Valentina Edizioni, in all Italian bookshops and she participated in her first signacopie at the Turin International Book Fair in May 2023. Now Sara is working as a conceptual illustrator for newspapers. Her first illustration for Politico was for the 29 June print edition. View Full Bio
