Illustrated stories of dogs & their humans
I’m Olya — artist, storyteller, and proud human of Ara, the scrappy street dog who inspired it all.
At Ara Design, illustrations don’t sit still. I use a hybrid process that blends hand-drawn sketches, AI image generators, and Adobe Creative tools to build worlds that move. Literally.
I don’t just create pictures — I turn them into little films. Emotive, witty, human stories brought to life with animation, voice, and sound.
Think of it as sketchbook meets cinema.
It’s an evolving process, and you’re invited to watch it grow. Stick around — the magic is just getting started.
“No one appreciates the very special genius of your conversation as the dog does.”
Christopher Morley
