2D Artist | Illustrator | UI Artist |

I am Leila, an illustrator from a very young age.

Interested in reproducing scenes from my favorite authors, I began my studies in a private drawing academy with Francisco Peinado. My interest in 3D art stems from my passion for CG cinema and animation. Still my biggest passion are videogames, specially Edutainmet games.

I have a degree in Fine Arts (2015 - 2019), and I have done a Master's Degree in VFX and Motion Graphics and an Advanced Postgraduate course in 2D/3D Animation and management of specialized Plugins: RG Trapcode Suite and Saber (AfterEffects) / Xparticles, Cycles 3D Render and Redshift Render (Cinema 4D).

I have worked as a Lead Artist for various books, articles, and other publications; and as a designer in various projects of academic and divulgative nature.

Simultaneously I have worked for several years as a vector artist in the game "Sonic 2 HD" and as an Animator and Video Editor in the indie game "From Nadia", and as an 2D artist in some other indie games.

​

One of the projects I am most proud of having participated in is the EdTech Talky project as a Lead Artist, developing Conept Art, creating and implementing 2D Assets in Unity, 2D Animating and designing the UI.

 

Currently, since June 2024, I have been working at Studio Karta, focusing UX/UI and 2D Art for Roblox and Fornite Branded experiences. I work closely with the Art Director, and contribute to developing not only the UI but also the visual identitiy of the company projects projects. During my time at Karta, we have successfully shipped several experiences for clients like TWICE, BLACPINK, HUGO BOSS, E.L.F. beauty and Eurovision, among many others .

Also I still I work as a freelancer as a digital artist for Android and IOS Apps; both in private and independent projects, and Scientific dissemination projects.
