Mihaela Karadjova, also known as STALKERSINCE1993, has been surrounded by music, comics and illustrated books since she was a child. Obsessed with illustrations, Mihaela draws her inspiration from music, the desert, skateboarding, the circus and anything fashion related. Born and raised in Shumen, Bulgaria, she has lived in Sofia for years, recognizing it as her city. She graduated with a Bachelor in Poster and Visual Communication at the National Academy of Art in Sofia, and a Master Degree in Illustration also there, and then began working as a freelance illustrator and book and print publications designer. Her style is exciting, saturated with a lot of symbolism and so distinctive and memorable that once you meet it, you will always recognize it.

Among the many projects in which she has participated are the exhibition Love Will Not Tear Us Apart, which she created together with her sister Borislava Karadjova under the common name Sisters In Draw in the summer of 2021; the illustrations for the sex education book “V as Vagina”; the immersive installation exhibition To me, to you, dedicated to the stigma about depression (October 2022) and many others.

DESIGN IS: a part of our lives and it better be aesthetically pleasing.
