Hi, I'm Bárbara Astrini!
I'm an Emmy-winning Brazilian-American artist, with a focus on preschool design and animation. As a young immigrant to the USA, television and books were my gateway to understanding the new world around me. My work is rooted in joy, justice, and color, inspiring the audience to be their happiest, most authentic self.
Please contact me at babs@barbaraastrini.com for any inquiries or to say hello :D
