Picture books and storytelling for sanctuaries, NGOs and animal welfare organizations.
Example front cover
OFFER
I create illustrated picture books for animal sanctuaries, NGOs, and animal welfare organizations, transforming real rescue stories into meaningful books for children and families.
Through compassionate visual storytelling, I help organizations share the journey behind each rescued animal, inspire empathy toward the animal world, and create a deeper emotional connection between visitors and the organization’s mission. A picture book can help families understand the value of rescue work, encourage compassionate conversations, and strengthen long-term support for the organization’s projects.
Whether you already have a written story or simply the memory of a rescue, tell me about it — and together we can transform it into a picture book that continues inspiring empathy, awareness, and support long after the visit is over.

I am a full-time freelance illustrator working under the professional name Medilludesign. Born in Italy, I have loved drawing since childhood and developed my skills through Character Design studies in Modena and digital illustration courses, specializing in Procreate. Before dedicating myself fully to illustration, I worked as an Environmental Engineer. This background continues to inspire my work, especially my focus on environmental awareness, empathy, and meaningful storytelling. I offer illustration services in Italian, English, German, and Spanish, and I also speak some French.
