Daniela was born in 1984 in a small town near Milan, Italy. She has always loved drawing. Since she was very small, her favourite pastime has always been sketching and doodling, giving life to the fantasy stories in my head. She studied Graphic Design in Milan and in London, where she lived for four years. There she had the chance to work as a Children's Book designer at Egmont UK. This experience gave her the chance to get in touch with amazing and inspiring illustrators and to see her dream of becoming an illustrator come true. Now she is back in Italy, where she works as a freelance Children's Book illustrator. She loves her job so much, especially when thinking of all the children that she make happy with her drawings! Daniela's favourite illustrators and greatest inspirations are Mary Blair, Marc Boutavant and Joey Chou.
