Hello there! My name is Alejandra Ruiz. I'm an illustrator and visual story teller based in Bogotá, Colombia.
My work celebrates day-to-day moments, emotions, details, and everything that you have to do with animals and feeling peaceful. I also adore illustrating elements of Colombian culture, since I truly believe we have a lot to tell and a lot to show, as well!
I love telling stories through my illustrations, that's why I rarely work without a character or a specific narrative.
Some of the amazing folks I’ve worked with:
House of Memory Nariño
Secretary of Post-Conflict and Culture of Peace of the City Hall of Cúcuta
Cooltura Children's Magazine
Editorial Ilona Books
Monkey Hide Bags
Biocare Colombia
We are Jungle and Sea
More Compost Less Garbage
