Growing up, her love for comics never ceased to exist even when reading on road trips with her family would make her carsick. Her degree in Graphic Design and a subsequent Masters in Illustration have taken her to work in many creative industries such as advertising, animation, film, and most recently, publishing, where she finally brought together all her professional experiences with her love for books and graphic novels. Originally from Cali, Colombia, she currently resides between California and Wellington, New Zealand, getting the best of both hemispheres.","brand":"Roaring Brook Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49006523842713,"sku":"9781250843111","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0572\/3367\/0297\/files\/9781250843111.jpg?v=1789075089","url":"https:\/\/bookmarksretail.store\/products\/dream-big-9781250843111","provider":"Bookmarks Retail","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
