designer / illustrator / berkeley, ca

Hello! My name is Alina Buevich and I’m a designer & illustrator. At the moment I’m helping shape the brand at QA Wolf. You can spot a lot of my previous work online but it’s also been known to show up at eventS, in print, or on some merch. In a lot of these projects you’ll see examples of work from my time as an in-house designer at Discord and Chronicle Books.

Outside of all those things, I also spend a lot of time drawing, taking on freelance projects, and at one point collaborated on lump shop.

Any questions . ?
