Laura has always loved stories, drawing and chocolate. Luckily, being an illustrator means she happily spends her days enjoying all of the above! The rest of the time Laura spends with her dogs and horses – then eats some more chocolate!
Laura studied animation in her hometown of Madrid. But she decided that creating characters, and telling their stories in her own way, was so much fun that she became an illustrator instead. Rainy days are her favourites, where you’ll find her drawing in her studio beside her sleepy dog and a noisy little heater.
