Ignacia Ruiz

Ignacia Ruiz is an illustrator and reportage artist who graduated from the BA Graphic Design program at Central Saint Martins, part of the University of the Arts London. Her practice combines drawing and printmaking, with clients such as Penguin Books, Editions Zulma, and WPP. She recently completed an artist residency at Opificicio della Rosa in Italy.

Research and Practice: Ruiz emphasizes live drawing as a method to capture the atmosphere of places and events, describing it as an intimate interaction that sharpens observation. Her work spans commercial projects (e.g., packaging rebranding for Castano, branding for JO Chocolates) and personal creative exploration, often promoted via social media platforms like Instagram.

Teaching: Ruiz works part-time as a lecturer on the Foundation course and summer short courses at Central Saint Martins, valuing the dynamic of teaching as a way to sustain her creative energy and curiosity.
