About the Author

Olga Ortiz, also known as Olguioo, is currently living in Lleida, a small town in Catalonia, Spain, where she works as an illustrator and a graphic designer. Olga originally studied architecture, but she was always interested in graphic design. That passion prompted her to build a small community on social media where she could share her drawings and tutorials-until she finally made the decision to turn her hobby into a full-time job. Olga draws cute animals, plants, groceries, and everyday things that make her happy, and she hopes to share not only her drawings, but also this feeling with others.
