Hi! I’m Adriana Padilla Duran, a New York City–based designer and illustrator with a focus on editorial and publishing design. I’ve worked on projects across book and publication design, most recently as a Design Assistant at Bloomsbury Children’s Books and previously as a Design Intern at Penguin Random House.

Before that, I worked as a Layout Editor and Webmaster for The Knight News, where I designed and managed editorial layouts for the student newspaper.

When I’m not designing, you’ll probably find me sketching, reading new books, or exploring the city. :)
