Laura Guedes
born and raised in Recife, PE, Brazil. Currently based in the cold mountains of Vancouver, Canada.
I am an enthusiast in designing appealing characters and fun illustrations for the entertainment industry .
I have participated in several projects in games, animation and editorial - some of the clients including Sanrio, Jazwares and NBC/Deedle-Dee.
I also aspire to incorporate the rich culture of my upbringing in northeastern Brazil into my work.
On my free time, I enjoy working out, cozy gaming and doodling my cats.
