Get to know me

florifama.png

I’m a surface pattern designer from Buenos Aires, Argentina based in NY. I have deep love for illustration and storytelling, that’s why I’m also a Skillshare teacher.

My passion for bright colors and highlighting the beauty in ordinary things made me feel the need to explore various art forms since I was little. I have a bachelor’s degree in graphic design from the University of Buenos Aires, and I decided to focus on illustration after graduating.

Most of my work is centered around cute animals, flowers and letters. My artwork is digital but I always start out working with sketches on paper.

I like experimenting with my skills when I’m working on personal projects: from gingerbread house and cookie baking & decoration to glow-in-the-dark calligraphy.
