@valentinaarenas
Graphic designer and illustrator who turns ideas into engaging visual storytelling for brands, books, and editorial projects.
What I'm looking for
As a graphic designer with strong training from CUN, I bring deep knowledge in illustration, editorial design, branding, advertising, and marketing. I’m passionate about illustration—I love creating art that communicates and connects with people.
In freelance work, I’ve delivered full children’s picture book projects, handling concept, character design, sequential illustration, and final art. I also create character & portrait commissions, plus editorial illustrations like spot art and two-page spreads for blogs and printed zines.
Alongside illustration, I design logos and visual identities for small businesses and entrepreneurs, developing complete branding for local brands and producing flyers and marketing materials. I’m creative, responsible, and a team player—always seeking innovative, effective solutions while managing clients directly from proposal to final delivery.
