I'm Mira, an illustrator working out of a small studio with too many plants and not enough shelf space. For the past several years I've split my time between editorial work, packaging, and the occasional picture book — always looking for projects with a bit of warmth and a story worth drawing.
My style leans hand-drawn and textured: gouache, colored pencil, and a lot of digital cleanup afterward. I like working with people who already have a strong sense of what they want to say, and just need help saying it visually.
Every project is different, so these are starting points — happy to put together a custom quote.
Have a project in mind? The fastest way to reach me is by email — tell me a bit about what you're working on and I'll get back to you within a couple of days.
