Leya Luna

I’m Leya Luna, an Author Illustrator and Graphic designer from Zurich, Switzerland.

My work focuses on telling stories through illustration, packaging and brand design.

I have graduated with a Master’s degree in Children’s Book Illustration at Cambridge School of Art in Cambridge, United Kingdom. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Visual Communication, Illustration Fiction, from the Lucerne University of Applied Sciences and Arts after completing my Graphic Design studies at the School of Design Zurich.

Most of the time you can find me buried in my sketchbook, travelling places or both, combined. I’m an experienced tea drinker and truly believe that food is the key to happiness.
