Hello!
My name is Rachel Polo and I’m an illustrator based in Barcelona, Spain. I graduated from School of Design and Art Llotja in Barcelona in 2019 with an illustration degree.
I tend to work digitally but I do like working traditionally as well. I like to create new characters and build a story around them, I sketch a lot and I love brainstorming ideas.
I am currently working on the creation of a picture book with a publishing house from Sevilla called Babidi-bú.
