Hi! I’m Iva (rhymes with “viva”), a full-time illustrator, teacher, and nature lover.

I’m passionate about illustration in all its forms, and my goal is to guide you into a creative world full of color, joy, and inspiration through fun, practical classes.

I design my lessons to be engaging and actionable, so you can enjoy the process, gain confidence in your skills, and finish projects you’re proud of. My students often share “AHA” moments, learning time-saving techniques and discovering new ways to express their creativity.

I aim to simplify complex topics so you don’t spend years figuring them out on your own. Lessons are packed with examples, practical tips, and alternative approaches to help you illustrate your ideas effectively.
