Character Exploration for Expressive Illustration

Tania Yakunova is an illustrator from Kyiv. As a child, she was always interested in drawing, inspired by her grandfather who was a professional artist. She began studying at art school at the age of 7, and after graduating from university, began working as a copywriter. Tania later went back to school to study design and discovered a love for illustration in particular, which she put into practice working in a motion design studio alongside freelance projects in everything from editorial illustration to packaging design.

Since then, she’s become a full-time freelancer and has exhibited her work in galleries in France, the US, Germany, Italy, and the UK. Tania has worked with brands like Coca-Cola, Google, Upwork, Penguin Random House, Amazon, Visa Gold, Yves Rocher, and Facebook. She also runs her own poster shop.
