Hello, there!

My name is Fernanda Nakata,

I was born in São Paulo, Brazil, and I’m the youngest daughter of a woman from Pernambuco and a Japanese-Brazilian father whose family is from Paraná.

I’m passionate about romance, magical realism, young adult literature, and children’s book. My favorite author is Jostein Gaarder, and my favorite book is The Solitaire Mystery.

I have specialized training in creative writing and children’s illustration, and I’ve independently published a novel and a children’s book. I love talking about culture and creating things, like clothes, illustrations and stories. You can follow more of my thoughts in the blog section. You can also explore my books, take a look at my illustration portfolio/gallery, or send me a message if you’d like to talk about my services.

nice to meet you!
