I’m Leya Luna, an Author Illustrator and Graphic designer from Zurich, Switzerland.
My work focuses on telling stories through illustration in books, 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.
If I’m not working in my Studio in Zurich you can find me buried in my sketchbook, travelling places or both, combined. If you are passing by Zurich don’t hesitate to message me and visit me in my Studio.
