Illustrator and Cartoonist

Pepita Sandwich is a fashion and textile designer turned illustrator and cartoonist from Buenos Aires, Argentina She’s been drawing all her life but, growing up, she thought drawings had to be realistic to be good and so she pursued fashion design at university. This gave her the tools to understand creative processes and work with different mediums. After graduating, Pepita moved to Milan on a photography scholarship. It was there she realized that drawing in her sketchbook was her favorite thing to do, and that illustration was her true passion all along.

In 2013 Pepita began publishing her sketchbook drawings of relatable life observations with a focus on feelings, friendship, and self-discovery. As the popularity of this content grew, she challenged herself to post a drawing a day on Instagram. This online visual diary caught the attention of publications and brands, and in 2016, she published her first book Survival Diaries with Penguin Random House. She creates illustrated essays for The Washington Post andThe New Yorker, and has worked with Adidas, and Facebook. In 2019 she published her second book, Women Move Mountains.
