Polina is a children’s illustrator and character designer based in Odesa, Ukraine.

She has created more than 15 books for kids — with a special passion for picture books and board books. Her illustrations capture the chaos and charm of childhood.

As a mom of three, she believes that books offer a special moment to pause and bond with children. Reading together before bed is her favorite time of the day — and she loves drawing kids for kids, seeing the world through their eyes.

Polina has collaborated with authors and publishers from different countries, always making sure the illustrations support and elevate the story. With over 15 books, she understands the full process — from first sketches to final print-ready files.

For Polina, illustration is not only about drawing — it’s about storytelling and creating an emotional connection with young readers. She is open to collaborations with publishers, agencies, and authors who want to create books that children will remember and love.
