I'm Ximena — an illustrator and industrial designer from Montevideo, now based in Berlin. I work in traditional media, building scenes and characters through collage: layered textures, soft lines, and details that construct worlds feeling slightly atemporal and magical — like the Montevideo of my childhood imagination. Years of work in design and corporate environments taught me to meet briefs, hit deadlines, and think in systems. Children's book illustration feels like the perfect combination of art and function.
