About Johanna Velasco

Hello :-) My name is Johanna Velasco Deutsch. I am an illustrator, photographer and designer from Cebu, Philippines. I spend my days drawing, painting, taking photographs, sharing stories and wandering the streets. I find myself attracted to the strange and beautiful, to whimsical things tinged with melancholy and the in-between places where things are not quite what they seem.
