After graduating from the

University of Florida

 with an Advertising

degree, I was a Content Strategist at

Gawker Media

and

Tumblr.

Then, I managed a team at

POPSUGAR

as a Senior Social Editor. Now, I'm a multidisciplinary artist based in

Philadelphia

where I pursue work that allows me to navigate my

Latinx identity,

experiment with color & texture, and playfully explore the beauty in

everyday moments.

Q & A
with Fabiola

Q: What do you listen to while illustrating?

A: While illustrating, I love to listen to podcasts — specifically True Crime podcasts. Something about drawing while listening to some real stories gets me in the creative zone. Aside from True Crime podcasts, I also listen to creative podcasts like Creative Pep Talk, the Lisa Congdon Sessions, and Grupo de autoayuda de dibujo. Lastly, I love to throw some Parisian Cafe Jazz on YouTube when I want to escape from my home studio. I highly recommend it!

Q: Why did you start [Draws in Spanish]?

A: I started [Draws in Spanish] because I was craving more Latinx representation in the podcasting world, especially when it came to creative podcasts. I just wanted to hear from more creative people that came from similar Latine backgrounds as me.

Q: Who’s lucy?

A: Lucy is my 10-year-old cute baby Shar-pei puppy. Her Frito paws keep me company every day in the studio and on the couch. I love her.
