Grisel was born in Argentina but she grew up in Barcelona, in Spain, for most of her life. Her passion for music and her sound engineering job took her to London in 2010, but it wasn’t until she reached Scotland when she decided to use her artistic visual skills to pursue her dream of becoming an illustrator and character designer. The journey wasn’t easy and straight forward as she was rejected by 3 different Scottish universities. 

However, this took her to qualify in Art and Design in Animation in 2018. After that she decided to take a leap of faith and set up her own business. She opened the doors of her first Illustration studio shop in Glasgow and, with lots of determination and hard work, she started working as a self employed illustrator and character designer.
