Luis Yañez
Digital Artist

I am a graphic designer and illustrator who enjoys creating illustrations, characters, and toys. I design and develop consumer products for the food, beverage, and adhesives industry, both for print and digital projects. I also create social poster designs for various organizations worldwide. I work from my home studio, currently located in Mexico. I collaborate with clients to elevate the quality of their products or services through creativity and design, which has a positive impact on the world and its people. I am always open to new projects and collaborations.

Get in touch with me if you have something in mind!
