Why Your Product Needs Illustration

I love minimalism...

But people play it so safe that a coffee shop in Thailand ends up looking exactly like one in Oslo, which looks just like one in Brooklyn. Roads are full of monochrome cars with nearly identical designs, and fashion ditched the colors of the 50s; now everyone’s wearing black and classic blue jeans.

Aesthetics come and go in cycles, sure, but over the last 20 years, the world has standardized itself for efficiency and mass sales.

In the end, when everyone does the same thing, your product gets lost in an ocean of visual uniformity.

Illustrators don’t just fill a product with color and characters.

We dive deep into the brand and bring different solutions.

Our cultural background slips in and sparks conversation.

In short, we break the monotony.

Why Your Product Needs Illustration

Alejandro Milà by Mariella del Risco.

A few days ago, I turned 47 and treated myself to a portrait session with the incredible photographer Mariella del Risco. She took a series of professional shots for my LinkedIn and social profiles.

This is my favorite one, even though it won’t be my main profile picture.

I look very serious here, but I had so much fun during the shoot, and I’m really happy with all the photos.

You can see more of Mariella’s amazing work here: https://lnkd.in/eWwFtVcU

Grateful for these beautiful portraits, and for another year of creating, learning, and connecting!

Mente a Color – A Children's Book for Managing Emotions by Alejandro Milà

One of the most beautiful projects of 2025 was illustrating my first children's book. Mónica Ventura and María Fernanda Montero, psychologists specialized in art therapy, wrote a lovely story so the little ones can enjoy, understand, and manage their emotions in the best possible way.

Here are a few fragments from the book where emotions are beautifully reflected through art supplies:

· A little pot of black Chinese ink representing anger

· A squeezed tube of pale blue gouache representing sadness

· A pot of glue that binds and fixes beautiful things, representing gratitude

The book is having great success, and they just launched the hardcover version, much more pleasant and practical for young children.

For now, it's available in Spanish, and you can find it worldwide at:

Amazon USA: https://a.co/d/fEh1BA7

Amazon España: https://amzn.eu/d/3YDfCtU

Costa Rica: https://wa.me/+50688310694

Very proud and grateful to have been part of this special project
