Who am I?

Patricia Nagashiro Vaca

SCIENTIFIC ILLUSTRATOR, NATURALIST AND GRAPHIC DESIGNER


I was born in the Amazon of Bolivia, that is why nature is the inspiration that is reflected in my works. I firmly believe that illustrations speak.BecauseBehind every work lies a great effortby understanding those aspects that are important or that must be represented, understood and communicated.


Am Graphic and Advertising Designer, with specialized training inCreative Innovation MethodsandScientific IllustrationThis journey and experience solidified my profile as an illustrator, specializing in scientific, publishing, and advertising. My work focuses on infographics, data visualization, medical illustration, zoology, and botany; always with a clear visual narrative and combining analog and digital techniques.


For me, a project works when a symbiosis is built, a collaboration based on trust, that allows working in harmony and connecting with the target audience.


It will be a pleasure to talk to you, because every project is born from a good conversation and grows through mutual understanding.


Every project needs its own ecosystem; let's build it together. Let's talk!
