Martina Terzi – Designer

Award winning children’s books illustrator and designer with more than ten years of experience, bringing stories to life!

Overview

Hello!

My name is Martina and I'm an Italian illustrator who is currently freelancing from Denmark.

I have always loved bright colors and the use of cute, rounded shapes, and these are the biggest reasons why I decided to pursue illustration.

After high school, I decided to specialise my skills through self-discipline and professional courses in order to create the very illustrations in children's books I enjoyed so much!

I also enjoy travelling and living in different places. My experiences from all around the world serve to inspire me and allow me to constantly keep evolving my style.

Martina Terzi prepared the illustrations for my children's book. She took the words of my short story and brought the book to life. Vibrant colourful illustrations. Realistic representations of the animal characters and the nature around them. A visual feast. Highly recommended!
