About

My name is Sara Novakovic. I'm an illustrator based in Europe, with a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design. I've been a professional illustrator for about seven years. 

I spook easy and I'm not very skilled at video games, but I'm a huge horror fan and an avid gamer. It's safe to say I enjoy challenging myself.
