About

Hi, I’m Carla.

I’m a illustrator, specialising in children’s books.

I received my first commission in high school, painting a mural with cute animal characters. Although I followed a path into the world of finance, I found my way back to creativity in 2017 when I returned to Sydney from NYC and took on various illustration, interior design, and digital media projects.

In March 2020, I wrote and illustrated a children’s book inspired by my time in lockdown. I have since taken many 'Make Art That Sells' and skillshare courses. In May 2021, I left my job to pursue illustration full-time. I want to bring joy to the world through illustrating picture books.

I’m either drawing (on procreate), thinking about drawing or dreaming about drawing. Sometimes I’m at the beach or hanging out with friends or my family (hubby, three kids, a fur baby, and two goldfish).
