Laia Carrera Crespo. I was born in Barcelona in 1982 and currently live in Montseny, among rivers, mountains and pleasant people. Ever since I was very small I have been attracted to and motivated by everything relating to art, music and education. I studied social education at the Universitat Pere Tarrés, composition and arrangement of modern music at the Taller de Músics, and illustration at the Escola de la Dona de Barcelona. For the past fifteen years I have been lucky enough to be able to combine working on my three vocations and really enjoying all of them to the maximum. At the moment life has lead me to focus fully on the world of illustration and given me the opportunity to collaborate with different publishers, libraries, local councils, organisations etc. and work on various self-published personal projects.
