Illustrations Inspired by Personal Stories

Every illustration begins with the moments you share — the memories, details, and feelings that matter most. I transform them into a custom artwork full of playful touches.

From milestone celebrations to everyday snapshots, your vision becomes a unique piece of art to treasure.

Welcome to Monia Designs

I’m Monika, the artist behind Monia Designs, where I turn everyday moments into art that tells your story.

Inspired by the beauty of nature, I create custom illustrations, family and wedding portraits, birth cards, and invitations—all crafted with a touch of whimsy and heart.

My journey began amidst the ocean and wildlife of the Falkland Islands, and today, I pour that inspiration into each piece, blending art, emotion, and storytelling to create something truly unique.

Take a look around, and let’s bring a little magic to your world together.

What can I create for you?

Let’s turn your idea into something warm, personal, and lasting.
