Lorena Siminovich (born in Buenos Aires) is a San Francisco based artist, designer and illustrator. With a background in graphic design, and an extensive career as an art director, she became interested in design for children in 2001 when she moved from Buenos Aires to New York. She was responsible for art direction and product development for Mudpuppy, an award winning company that manufactures puzzles and toys for kids, whose products can be found in museum stores across the country.
During this time, Lorena also began her illustration career.

Lorena has written and illustrated several children's books, the first of which will be released in 2008. Her latest endeavor, petit collage, started in October 2006, with the idea of offering affordable art for children (and grownups!), with a modern feel.
