✧ About Me
Hello there! I'm Sara Silva, a passionate illustrator and graphic Designer.
I was born and bred in Portugal, but after my bachelor, I decided to chase new experiences and enrich my knowledge by meeting new people and cultures, so I moved to London.
I studied to become a Character designer, but like everything in life, it didn’t go as planned as I fell into the pit of art block (every artist’s nightmare). So, as a proactive individual, I decided to learn new skills in hopes of stopping the blockage. In the end, I did not only acquire new knowledge, but I also gained insight into the root problem of my initial conundrum.
Professionally, I like to work with clients by having a first briefing to understand their needs and advise them on design style, format, and process. I prepare rough drafts of material based on an agreed theme, developing concepts, graphics, and layouts for product illustrations, logos, business cards, and many more.
Are you curious about my art, projects, and skills? Then keep scrolling and delve further into my world.
