About Sofia
Illustrator, Graphic Designer, and Editor based in Los Angeles
Sofia got her B.F.A. from Laguna College of Art and Design where she majored in Illustration and minored in Graphic Design. At LCAD she was awarded the highest honor, the Trustee Choice Award, for her painting titled “Shadow Self.” Sofia also completed a mentorship with Poster Posse as a “Posse Protege.” She is now working towards her Post-Production certificate at UCLA Extension with intentions of also becoming an editor.
Her favorite part of the creative process is experimenting with different styles, colors, and storytelling techniques. Her favorite tools are Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, Adobe Premiere Pro, and oil paints.
When Sofia isn’t creating, she loves traveling around the world and exploring new places. But no matter where she goes, nothing beats spending time with her friends, family, and her fluffy Australian shepherd.
Sofia is self-represented and is currently open for work. Inquire about her availability through email or Instagram direct message!
