Ciao, I’m Simona

An Italian illustrator living in London, and lover of books, travel and espresso!

Commission me to add soul to your story.

A cute, yellow, square-shaped cartoon character with closed eyes, small mouth, and blushing cheeks.

In a world that moves so fast, I create timeless and nostalgic illustrations that connect with your audience by inviting them to pause, slow down and step into the story you want to tell.

WHAT I DO

I create illustrated artwork for book covers, editorial and murals.

WHO I HELP

  • If you’re a book publisher or an author, I can help you connect with your reader before they turn the first page. 

  • If you’re an editor or art director, I can help you do justice to the stories in your publication or magazine. 

  • If you’re a community organisation, I can help you transform your space into a place where people gather and feel good to be.

HOW I WORK

Every project begins with a thoughtful conversation ( and a good espresso). I listen closely, work collaboratively, and deliver high-quality artwork on time and with care.

“Simona’s artistry, talent and skill as an illustrator is impressive. She has an ability to interpret complex briefs and requirements quickly, and to their fullest, going beyond with that ‘something extra’, creative and delightful touch.”

Happy clients

I am very, very happy to have found such a talented illustrator and graphic designer. Simona helped me to create a grafical concept for my festival Alpine Jitterbugs - Shag 'n' Bal Innsbruck 2020. She perfectly got my idea and vision and created something very special and unique. We got so many compliments for that artwork. I very like her style and her ability of creating so many different works but still keep her own style. she acts very professional and is very fast in answering and working! its a pleasure to work with her.

“We engaged Simona to produce illustrations for a new web application to help people find targeted legal information. The illustrations were designed to help simplify complex ideas and calm the user in a potentially stressful situation. Simona responded to the illustration brief with great care, sensitivity and thought. We were impressed by Simona’s professional and open approach to the project and highly recommend her.”
