Hello!
I'm Ira Yu / lunarberri - an illustrator, graphic designer, indoor plant, and magical girl from the Philippines
I like to sprinkle magic through vibrant illustration and thoughtful, well-crafted design.
Work Experience
While my main discipline is in illustration, I have always been open to leaning new skills and adding them to my toolbox.
My past work experience has allowed me to grow as a multidisciplinary — from planning concepts and strategy for campaigns and events, art directing product and food photoshoots, designing visuals and assets for multiple brands, and creating visual content for social media, e-commerce and more.

What About Memories by Knock Knock Gallery
Life as a Game by Knock Knock Gallery
"Humans come before art. Don't think about trying to draw well. Go out and meet people, clash with them, fight and play. You must live your life first to create art. If you just sit in your studio all day drawing, It'll just be a painting for a painting."
When I’m not working, you can find me taking care of my plants (or photosynthesizing with them), roller skating to my favorite music, trying out a new coffee or tea drink, or being a bit too invested in a piece of media and its fictional characters.
I believe that it’s important to live life and have multiple influences to give life to art with heart.
