Written By:
Stack of handmade illustrated postcards titled My London For You by Beatriz Sanches, featuring blue and red design elements

Created by graphic designer and illustrator Beatriz Sanches who is originally from Brazil, but is now based at both Barcelona and London.

When you look through Beatriz's portfolio, you can see a real passion for storytelling, one that explores different handmade techniques with a unique approach where she mixes naivety and simplicity to display her own point of view. And her latest project, My London For You, is a city guide in the form of illustrated postcards, currently being sold at several independent bookshops in London.
