Florentina Surel

I am a Product & Brand Illustrator in pursuit of making tech illustrations great again. I perform best in a longer term collaboration, where I can really get to know the brand/product, but I am terrible at refusing shorter interesting projects that caught my interest.

I like to bring the mystery of editorial work into any piece I make and conceptualising ideas into sketches feels as gratifying as seeing the final results for me. I’m not married to one illustration style and I don’t know if I ever will. I consider my appreciation for different visual styles, a very useful tool.

She wanted to express, in an image, what she does in words: listen to her clients talk about details that may seem unimportant at first, then find a way to weave them into a unique storyline.
