My Story & Passion for Wildlife

From as early as I can remember, my life has been deeply intertwined with animals. I grew up surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, bunnies — and even a wild goat named Estrella — forming an unbreakable bond with the creatures around me. Animals have always been my greatest source of joy, companionship, and inspiration.

At the same time, I’ve always been acutely aware of their suffering, and felt compelled to help — whether it meant rescuing stray cats and dogs or caring for wildlife in need. (You can read about one of my most unforgettable moments, a hummingbird rescue, here.)

This lifelong passion is at the heart of everything I do. It’s what led me to create my book, Everything is Connected — a story that celebrates the magic of wildlife and the truth that animals are the real protectors of our planet’s health and ecosystems. Through my illustrations, I hope to highlight that sacred connection and raise awareness about the beauty and importance of wildlife conservation.

I’m currently working on the second book in the series, The Heart of Nature’s Mothers — a tender tribute to the love and bond between animal moms and their young — with many more stories and ideas still to come.

As an illustrator and logo & identity designer, I combine my love for animals with my creative skills to help others tell their stories too —especially those whose work aligns with protecting nature and its wild inhabitants. My studio, Ormiga Creative, is a one-woman endeavor powered by a collective spirit of compassion, purpose, and deep respect for the animal world.

If you’d like to stay connected, hear more about the stories behind the art, or find out what I’m creating next, I’d love to welcome you to my newsletter. I promise: it’s a cozy space, and I only write when there’s something worth sharing.
