Hi, I’m Claudia…
I am a creative person and Postcrossing changed my life; as my handmade watercolored postcards were very requested I have decided to give myself a chance to convert my hobby into a real job... so now I am a freelance illustrator!
Doing the job you really like is so rare and precious to be definitely worthy to give a try.

[If you receive one of my illustrated postcards please consider to send me a picture of you with it to be placed in my blog section "Zoo invasion" :D ]
