Hello and welcome to my corner of the internet, my name is Mariela, I’m an independent artist and designer based in Germany. I studied Communication Design (Bachelor of Arts) in Munich and obtained a Graphic Designer Certificate from the German Chamber of Industry and Commerce. Northern Hugs is both my Design & Illustration Portfolio as well as a blog with useful tips and tricks (and cool freebies). 

In my free time I like to write and illustrate children’s books and webcomics. You can find my new story Little Wolfheart on Webtoon.
