José Antonio Roda was always drawn to creative and artistic pursuits, but wasn't sure he could make a career out of illustration. He decided to study audiovisual science, but his hobby gradually became a full-time profession, leading him to collaborate with brands like Facebook, Cabify, Refinery29, IKEA and Hyundai.

Roda's work is based almost exclusively on portraiture using simple lines, primary colors, and a friendly tone, expressed in a range of analog and digital mediums, from pens and paint to paper, ceramics, textiles, and wood. As a self-taught creative, he is also passionate about teaching art to others.
