Hola! I'm Mara Criollo-Rivera, a Puerto Rican and Peruvian illustrator whose work spans across film, animation, graphic design, and children's picture books. My style is playful, colorful, and emotionally resonant—crafted to engage audiences of all ages. This versatility is what draws people to collaborate with me on a wide range of creative projects.

I hold a B.A. in Digital Media from the University of Rochester with a minor in Business and additional concentrations in studio art, film, and psychology. Most recently, I became a published illustrator and editor for the upcoming K–2 children’s picture book Dos Two, a bilingual story celebrating bicultural identity and Afro-Latinx heritage. More details about the book's release are coming soon!
