Hi, I'm Suellen Santos
I've been drawing professionally since I was 15, and I never stopped. I'm an illustrator and graphic designer from São Paulo, with references ranging from Jamie Hewlett to Frida Kahlo, and a curiosity that runs across manual and digital techniques alike.
After a path through marketing and e-commerce, I decided to return to what was always central to me: telling visual stories. Today my work centers on illustration, storyboard, animatic, and motion for advertising, where creative process and technical production move together, from sketch to final delivery.
I'm transitioning into Art Direction, currently part of D&AD Shift São Paulo 2026, an intensive program bringing together creativity, strategy, and business with professionals from agencies like MRM, VML, Tátil, and Montag. I bring a decade of practice and the stubbornness of someone who knows every good idea starts with a lot of rough drafts.
