Laura Wood (Illustrator) After spending all my young years in a full-on professional life crisis, in 2010 I finally stumbled into the magic world of illustration and decided I liked it a lot... Originally from Treviglio, a small town in the north of Italy, I studied illustration in the wonderful city of Melbourne, Australia, where I started my illustration career in 2012. After a few years of seeking adventures and travelling around the world, I currently live and work in Milan, Italy.
