<p><strong>The first children’s book that you illustrated, Planet Fashion, was just published. Congrats on that! What were the challenges you had to encounter to complete it<em>?</em></strong></p>

<p>Thank you! Working on it for quite some time (almost a year and a half!) while taking other commissions was definitely a challenge. I also had to be very precise, as I was drawing complex scenes with an average of 25 characters in them that all needed to be dressed accurately (fingers crossed) and represent a certain time in history at a certain place of the world. Which is why I had to do a lot of research too.</p>

<p><strong>You’ve ticked off the illustrator bucket-list dream, working for clients like The New Yorker, Google, Pentagram, etc. Besides hard work and your huge talent, what other traits has led to your success in your opinion?</strong></p>

<p>What I’ve learned is that the whole business side of illustration is a huge part of it all. Talking to other illustrators about those topics help a lot.</p>
