Alejo Porras is an illustrator and storyteller. While growing up in Costa Rica, he got the chance to meet people from different countries and backgrounds. Porras has always loved to hear and share experiences with others but he was frustrated when he couldn’t communicate with some of them because of a language barrier. That is until he tasted the power of drawing and became passionate about becoming a better illustrator/story teller.

The pursuit of that passion brought him to the United States where he earned an M.F.A in Illustration from the Savannah College of Art and Design. Now, as a professional illustrator, he creates conversations, shares stories and enables individuals, companies and brands to tell their stories in a compelling and clear way so they can connect with others, no matter the language they speak.
