Ro Ledesma

Rocío Ledesma, also known as Ro, was born in Galicia, Spain. Growing up, Ro enjoyed rainy days that were perfect for staying inside and spending hours creating imaginary worlds. After graduating with a degree in advertising from Vigo’s University, she worked as an art director in the advertising industry. In 2015, Ro decided to make a change and moved to Barcelona to become a freelance illustrator. Since then, she has illustrated commercials, magazines, and picture and educational books for clients all over the world. Ro loves drawing for children’s books because she can create humorous characters, play with bright colors, and challenge herself to find the best interpretation of the text. When she isn’t working, you can find her riding her bike or drinking tons of coffee.
