Szabina Farago
I was born in Hungary and have been living in the United Kingdom for over 14 years. My passion for crafting, drawing, and design has been with me since childhood, and I’ve worked in the fashion industry for more than 25 years. As a child, I dreamt of becoming a fashion illustrator and designer.
I had the opportunity to study Fashion at university in London, but after two years, I decided to change direction. I realised I needed a new challenge and wanted to explore different creative fields—this led me to Illustration. I'm currently studying Illustration at UCA Farnham, where I’ve been able to merge my fashion experience with new creative skills.
Over the past two years, I’ve completed a variety of exciting projects, and I’ve become especially interested in fashion technical drawing. My goal is to work as a technical fashion illustrator, creating tech packs for garment design and production. At the same time, I’ve enjoyed discovering my personal style and have developed a strong interest in realistic pet portraiture using coloured pencils.
Nature and animals are a big part of my life. At home, we have dogs, cats, horses, chickens, and many more animals that constantly inspire me. You’ll see this connection reflected throughout my portfolio projects.
In addition to my creative work, I run a small alterations and dressmaking business as a self-employed seamstress. I’ve built a solid local network over the years and I’m excited about the opportunities to combine this experience with my illustration career.
Thank you for visiting my portfolio. I hope you enjoy exploring my work, and please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions or enquiries—I’d be more than happy to help!
