Cecilia Romeo Landscape architect & Illustrator
Who am I? My life is divided between two passions, one is my actual work, I am a Landscape Architect. The second is my work to be, an Illustrator. I draw all the time and I try to convey into illustration everything that comes across my life. As a Landscape architect I try to translate into illustration every project I am involved in strongly believing that colours and humour better help to reach and conquer a potential client. As an illustrator, I try to take part to spontaneous competition and look every day for an excuse to draw something new and different. Six years ago, I started to follow this passion of mine by quick sketching comics representing my day to day life. It became an addiction that made me open an Instagram account in which I daily show my adventures and misadventures. These are the three chapters shown in this portfolio, hopefully they will help you to know me a bit better and will entertain you as well.
