Maria Hellqvist
I am a graphic designer and illustrator with almost 10 years of experience. My goal is to create illustrations full of life and warmth that convey the message of the text I'm illustrating in a fun and creative way. Accessibility and representation are two words I use as guidelines in all my work and I aim to make illustrations that make the reader feel welcome into the world I am creating.
