Who am I

about me

Hi!

bio2.png

I’m Daniel Wu, a Brazilian illustrator (half-Chinese), with over 10 years of experience bringing stories and characters to life. I’ve worked with major clients like Penguin Random House, Faber-Castell, Unilever, Domestika, FTD, SM, and Pearson, I'm represented by the Beehive Illustration  🐝 —and I just love what I do.

Illustrated books fascinated me even before I could read, and I’ve been obsessed with the storytelling power of images ever since. Following that passion, I earned a degree in Communication. I worked as a screenwriter, audiovisual producer, and art producer—experiences that still help me stay on top of schedules and deadlines 😉.

My style is expressive and colorful, with strong storytelling and always a touch of humor. I’m inspired by Brazil’s rich cultural diversity and love creating illustrations that celebrate different perspectives and connect with a wide range of audiences.

What excites me most about this field is how anything that enters the illustrated world becomes magical. That way, I truly believe illustration can help normalize differences and celebrate diversity—after all, everyone deserves to become a drawing!

In 2019, my husband and I moved to Porto, Portugal. At the end of 2020, an opportunity brought us to Hamburg, Germany, where we currently live.

When I’m not illustrating, you’ll probably find me traveling, eating, watching horror movies, or laughing. Sometimes, all at once!

Thanks for stopping by! If you’d like to chat or learn more, feel free to reach out. And if you want to keep up with my work (and a bit of my personal life), follow me on Instagram!

I like looking at sketches—they offer

a peek inside the artist's mind. This is

where ideas pop up, alternatives are explored, and decisions are made.

If you also enjoy it, here is a PDF with

some of my (really rough) sketches.
