About
Hi,
I am Laara, a letterer, illustrator and designer, best known for my bright color palettes, quirky letterforms and fun dimensions. I believe that looking at the world with childlike curiosity is truly necessary when it comes to creating art, so I hope that I'll always have this little superpower with me!
The top 3 things I couldn't live without are sunshine, (loud) music and plants.
Do you think we'd get along nicely? Let's work together!
Country:
Romania.
