Children's books
Illustrating children's books is where I get to let my imagination run wild- bringing characters to life with bursts of colour, big emotions, and plenty of fun. And yes, cats often make an appearance! Check out some of my favourite works (cats not guaranteed, but highly likely).
Live Illustration
Live illustration is exactly what it sounds like—me, drawing while people watch. Sometimes I’m capturing the highlights of a conference talk in real time, turning words into visuals that are easy to share (and way more fun to look at). Other times, I’m painting a window mural that stops people in their tracks—whether they’re heading for a coffee or just being nosy. Either way, it’s a brilliant way to catch people’s attention and bring ideas to life. In a world full of AI-generated everything, having a real human sketch your ideas live is one of the best ways to grab people’s attention and make your message stick.

About me
Illustrating stories, sketching live, and occasionally turning windows into giant canvases—that’s me, Paulina! I love bringing ideas to life and sharing the messy, unpredictable world of freelancing on Substack. Creativity is better when shared, and I’m all in.
