Howdy stranger. ✌︎
I’m Petra Sitaru, a pasty illustrator hiding from the sun in Barcelona. I specialise in design & illustration, making everything from product illustrations, icons to branding.
My approach to work is fun, personal and influenced by different disciplines.
Drawing from my experience in both the agency and tech sector has given me valuable insight that I use to create illustrations tailored precisely to their intended environment. Whether that be a website, app, magazine or ad campaign—I got you covered!
In the past I've had the pleasure of collaborating with some fancy clients, here are a few:
Google - Twitter - Instagram - 🍏 - The Atlantic - Harvard Business Publishing - Ueno - Typeform etc.
Don't be shy, feel free to shoot me an e-mail.

"It was a pleasure to work with Petra - we had a very challenging illustration brief which she tackled comfortably and with understanding of the nuance in our messaging. Petra was patient as we gathered feedback from our team and we appreciated her willingness to accommodate multiple rounds of feedback. The finished illustrations have transformed our campaign and given it a distinct visual identity!"
—Caitlin Law, Communications Officer at Metropolis
"Petra is an amazing illustrator and creative partner. She's really proactive in puzzling through the practical stuff like client feedback or budget constraints, and brings her own playful sensibility and charm to elevate the work beyond the brief. I appreciate how she brought us into her creative process, and it's impressive how refined and thoughtful her initial sketches and ideas were. The mix of being a total pro and a total delight is why I can't wait to work with her again!"
—Ryan Brown, Creative Director at Future Work Design
"In my 15+ years of professional experience, I've had the privilege to work alongside several talented individuals, Petra stands out as one of the few I can trust implicitly. We've collaborated on a few projects, both large and small, and her commitment to quality is unwavering. Petra's communication skills are second to none - always open for dialogue, ready to exchange ideas, and bring them to life. She has a great knack for detail and a genuine curiosity to understand every facet of our business. This keen insight allows her to devise concepts and styles that truly resonate with and accurately represent our products. If you ever have the opportunity to work with her, seize it without hesitation - it's an opportunity you won't want to miss."
