Hello and welcome! My name is Michelle D’Urbano (pronounced doo-rr-bah-no) I am a Surface Pattern Designer and Illustrator based in Chingola, Zambia.
A lot of my work is rooted in conceptual illustration where I try to distill complex themes into images that feel thoughtful yet playful.
My practice began with a simple ritual of drawing everyday and sharing my work online. Over time, this grew into a career creating illustrations for magazines, publishing houses and brands.
A few select clients include Adobe, Harper Collins Publishing, Rotary International, The Washington Post, ProPublica, just to mention a few.
I am available for collaborations and commissions as well as art licensing and editorial publication.
Please feel free to check out my work and contact me if you need further information.
