My Story & Passion for Wildlife

From as early as I can remember, my life has been intertwined with animals. Growing up surrounded by cats, dogs, horses, bunnies, and even a wild goat named Estrella, I developed a deep bond with the creatures around me. Animals have always been my source of joy, companionship, and inspiration. I’ve also been acutely aware of their suffering and have always felt compelled to help—whether it was rescuing stray cats and dogs or lending a hand to wildlife in need. You can read about one of my most memorable experiences in a hummingbird rescue here.

This passion for animals is at the heart of everything I do. It’s what eventually led me to create my book, Everything is Connected, a story about the magic of wildlife and how animals are the true protectors of our planet’s health and ecosystems. Through my illustrations, I aim to highlight this deep connection and bring awareness to the beauty and importance of wildlife conservation. I’m now working on the second book in this series, with many more ideas for the future.

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 missions align with preserving wildlife and nature. My studio, Ormiga Creative, is a solo endeavor but driven by a collective spirit of compassion and respect for the animal world.
