Illustration over photo in Buenos Aires by Alejandro Milà

My good friend (and talented artist) Claudio Corrales asked me why I’d stopped illustrating over photos. He said they were one of the things he loved most about my work and encouraged me to create one whenever I got the chance.

A couple of months ago, I visited Argentina for the first time with my family. I took some photos (check out a few in my Instagram Stories) and remembered my friend’s advice. Here’s the first one—trying to capture the vibrant colors of Buenos Aires at their best.

Set of illustrations for the HealthWell Foundation by Design Positive & Alejandro Milà

Recently, we collaborated with Design Positive to create a unique set of illustrations for the HealthWell Foundation app. For this project, we worked with an existing character style provided by the client, which is one of my favorite challenges. Starting from a few vectors, we built an entire visual world where these characters come to life.

We even included initial doodles to give the client a clearer idea of which characters would appear, how their brand colors would be integrated, and which icons would guide users through each step of the app.

The result? A cohesive and vibrant set of illustrations that we’re truly proud of.

Custom illustrations are one of the fastest and most effective ways to communicate a message, making it instantly clear and engaging for any audience. If you want to elevate your content with a bespoke illustration set, feel free to message me—I’d love to chat about how we can make your project stand out!
