Laura Di Francesco, born in Rome in 1976, is educated in decoration and has a degree as a visual artist from the Accademia di Belle Arti di Roma. Japan caught her interest and for two years she lived there learning the language and being inspired by the country’s traditions, form and design. In 2010, she moved with her husband and children to Sweden and educated herself in motion design and graphic design. She currently works in visual design and illustration.

Her art style uses a fantastic range of colours and images to create a lovely atmosphere that invites both children and adults to enter into her magical worlds.
