Gina Lorubbio – Designer

Hi, there. I’m Gina – food illustrator & writer. My specialty is untangling the hard-to-explain ideas in your brain and displaying them in easy-to-digest visual or written forms. My bread and butter theme is food culture, but digressions include mother/parenthood, anti-racism, and improving higher education.

My books:
- "Kage ABC" / "Cake Alphabet: a cake for every letter" (published Summer 2020 by Koustrup Co.; I created cover illustrations, interior illustrations, and full color illustrated endpapers),
- "God Smag" / "Good Taste: cooking everyday with the 5 tastes" (coming Summer 2021; I created cover illustrations, interior illustrations, and consulted on book cover design)

Here's what a past illustration client said about working with me:
“I want to thank you for this process – the work was beautiful, the process easy and smooth despite the physical distance, everything was prompt, and most of all, you handled an obviously sentimental and personal subject with great care…Best of luck with your work- it's important stuff.” – Ben Piñon

I speak and read Danish and English.

As a person whose brain works with both visual imagery and the written word, we can collaborate back-and-forth to create illustrations that deeply connect to the words on the page.

It would be an honor to help you bring your book to life!
