Hi, I’m Tatiana
I’m a cartoonist drawing about public health issues including mental health, abortion, harm reduction, homelessness, and fat positivity. My pronouns are she/her.
I design and illustrate hand-drawn comics, logos, and graphics for high-profile clients such as the Seattle/King County Health Department, Shout Your Abortion, and The People’s Harm Reduction Alliance, delivering assets used in both global and regional campaigns.
I produce visual narratives from concept to completion, including storyboarding, writing, illustrating, coloring, and preparing materials for digital distribution and print.
I have taught comics creation classes for Seattle Colleges, King County Library System, and Geek Girl Con, inspiring creativity and technical proficiency in diverse audiences.
