Hello!

I'm Susana Viñolo, a Spanish illustrator and graphic designer living in Sheffield, UK.

When I was little, I loved to read, write and use my imagination. As I got older, I learnt that I tell stories better with pictures than with words alone. That is why I became an illustrator. I treasure many memories of my childhood and recall the feeling of being small in an adult world, which I use as inspiration.At present, I work on educational materials for the international market, creating age-appropriate art and meeting diverse audience needs. My approach to illustration is both creative and professionally grounded, with a focus on storytelling and emotion.I combine my full-time job as an illustrator with developing my personal picture book projects. My stories are tender and character-driven. They explore childhood wonder, empathy, and positive values. I aim for an illustration style that is modern, strong in colour theory and with playful textures.In my free time, you will find me reading, visiting a museum, junk journaling or collecting vintage postcards.
