A glimpse into the creative world of Marianna AKA mnfrr!

StickerApp: How would you define your style?

Marianna: Colourful, approachable, and appetising!

StickerApp: What’s your favourite technique?

Marianna: 99% of the time I work digitally in Illustrator, using my Wacom board. I have nerve damage in my right hand, so I start with semi perfect vector shapes and use the smooth tool to make them more organic and match what I see in my head.

StickerApp: Who or what is your biggest inspiration/s?

Marianna: Food, community, sharing a meal, breaking bread, colours, flowers, produce, the produce aisle at the grocery store on a grey Winter day!

StickerApp: How did it all start?

Marianna: I was feeling uninspired by my 9-5 tech job and needed a more personal creative outlet. At that time I was also cooking a lot and hosting dinners, it made sense for me to start drawing food!

StickerApp: Do you have a tip for those who are starting out?

Marianna: Do you, keep your work honest to what you're passionate about because then it will resonate with the right people. And have fun! If you're not having fun, let it go.
