Who is L. Martin?
Who is L. Martin?
I am a creator of worlds.
Since childhood, pencils and paper have been my favorite toys. Born in 1994 in Vitória, Brazil, I was an early reader and taught myself to express ideas through different creative languages. Over time, this exploration awakened my artistic multipotentiality — illustration, graphic design, storytelling, and even music composition.
I have 17 years of experience in illustration and 12 years in graphic design. Most of this journey has been as a freelancer, which gave me the freedom to explore my full creative potential and build a versatile skill set. I’ve worked with publishers, agencies, and companies in Brazil and abroad, including the United States, the United Arab Emirates, and India. I also had valuable in-house experiences at a print shop, design agency, city council, and a business group's marketing department — all of which enriched my strategic and technical understanding of the creative field.
At age 29, two years after writing Switch, I discovered I’m autistic, have ADHD, and am twice-exceptional with giftedness. This brought a deeper understanding of my intense, detail-oriented mind — which simply doesn’t have an off switch.
Today, in addition to building fictional worlds through stories, characters, and illustrations, I also share my creative journey on my YouTube channel, where I talk worldbuiding, illustration and creative process.
I want to be part of projects that value imagination and the power of a good story — creations that leave a mark on every mind.
