Hi, my name is Natalie Martinez. I am a Latine illustrator based in NYC inspired by manga and sapphic media. My pursuit of illustration began young; I attended the Art & Design High School for 2D animation. In 2025, I graduated the Fashion Institute of Technology for illustration. Since then, I have been pursuing work in storytelling and character development.
Fandom culture has always inspired me to keep creating, even when employment is tough. Debuting in 2022, I opened an Etsy shop featuring my artwork on a variety of goods. This includes hard enamel pins, posters, stickers, acrylic keychains, and illustration commissions. By 2025, I passed 3 Adobe certification exams for Adobe Photoshop, Adobe Illustrator, and Adobe After Effects.
