A native of Milan, Italy, Nina Cuneo followed her bliss and went back to school to study editorial illustration in 2010 after she’d already established herself as a successful designer for print and the web.
Cuneo takes a creative approach to everything in life from children’s book illustration to graphic design and branding. Creative in the kitchen too, she bakes cakes and loves to have fun with her three children and the family dog.

Cuneo’s illustration has appeared in publications such as The Boston Globe, La Repubblica and La Stampa. She’s created imagery for Giunti Progetti Educativi, OVS, the Swedish School and The Children’s School, both in Milan.

She recently illustrated the children’s book, Sheep Won’t Sleep, written by Judy Cox and published by Holiday House Publishing. Other book illustrations have been published by Il Castoro Edizione and Anansi Books.

From an editorial illustration of a disassembled Pinocchio to healthy food choices displayed on the prongs of forks, her colorful, whimsical imagery can be found on the pages and covers of books, newspapers, magazines and packaging worldwide.
