by Gabriela Alemán
Hi! I’m Gabriela, a self-taught Nicaraguan–Salvadoran illustrator based in San Francisco.
I love collaborating with brands, businesses, and organizations that value meaningful, people-centered storytelling.
Under the name Smug Morenita, I create work inspired by the people, places, and everyday moments around me. It’s also my creative space to explore what it means to be a multidisciplinary Latina in today’s digital world—on my own terms.
When I’m not drawing, you can find me giving out free groceries with Mission Meals, running along the Bay, at folklore dance rehearsal, or capturing a mirror outfit-of-the-day.
