Nadia Ronquillo
Nadia Ronquillo is a children’s book illustrator and designer who helps self-published authors turn their manuscripts into print-ready PDFs for Amazon or offset printers.
Born in sunny Guayaquil, Ecuador, Nadia’s illustrations are inspired by the warmth and vibrancy of her homeland. Her passion for travel also fuels her creativity, creating a cycle of inspiration between her journeys and her art.
With over 10 years of experience, Nadia began freelancing in 2014 and soon found her calling in supporting indie stories. During the COVID pandemic, she developed a streamlined process to help authors bring their projects to life. Since then, she has illustrated over 200 children’s books.
Nadia’s professional background includes a degree in Graphic Design and Audiovisual Production. She has collaborated with Cocoa López Studio in Mexico as a visual development artist, contributing to children’s books, animated shorts, and television projects.
Her notable achievements include co-creating Tally Molly, an internationally recognized project featured in the Pixelatl Bootcamp in Mexico, The Laboratory: Bridging the Gap in Spain, and Ventana Sur in Argentina. In 2019, she presented Tally Molly at MIFA during the Festival of Annecy.
Nadia’s clients include Oxford Publishing, Capstone Publishing, Cricket Media, Highlights magazine, and many more. She remains dedicated to crafting magical stories and illustrations that leave a lasting impact.
