Nemesis Castillo
Illustrator / Graphic Designer
Hi! I’m an illustrator who specializes in hand-drawn vector linework with high detail and rich colour palettes. I love creating illustrations inspired by nature and mythology.
I am motivated and independent; but I also enjoy the buzz and camaraderie of a team. I would love to take on new challenges and keep learning new skills working together with talented people.
