Montse Galbany started drawing as soon as she could hold a pencil, and has never stopped since then.

She is an illustrator and graphic designer living in Granollers, a city close to Barcelona. She studied graphic design at ELISAVA University and started freelancing in 2017 mainly in editorial projects.

Montse works digitally with kind shapes and vibrant colors to tell stories. Her illustrations are vivid, playful and reflect her graphic design background allowing her to create inspiring compositions thinking about type and illustration as a whole.

In 2021, her first fully illustrated book, Benditos Errores, was published by Mosquito Books. She was responsible for creating all the illustrations and designing the cover, page layouts, and text. The book was translated into nine languages, including English, French, German, Italian, and Chinese. In 2022, her second book, Disgustingly Delicious, was released by the same publisher. Following these, she created a collection called Viajeros del Tiempo, with two titles — Ancient Egypt and Ancient Greece — published by Alba Editorial.

One of her great sources of inspiration come from nature and spending time outdoors hiking, mountain biking, skiing, taking cold plunges on mountain lakes or “mushroom hunting”.

She wishes to keep drawing forever while exploring the world next to Marc Cubillas, her daughter Bruna and Mel (their mixed shepherd dog) on their camper van.
