Hi, I'm Raffaella.

I rediscovered drawing during a challenging period in my life, initially as a creative escape. It quickly became a source of calm and focus.

Working primarily on my iPad, I draw playful characters, travel-inspired scenes and the everyday things that catch my eye (with cats making a regular appearance). Each piece starts with a sketch and is drawn by hand, usually with plenty of colour along the way.

I’m also the human behind PawsPrintDesign on Etsy, where some of my illustrations make their way onto paper prints, alongside digital designs and a small collection of downloadable templates. Paper prints are produced and dispatched by Printful.
