Author Biography

Antonia Pesenti is a Sydney based architect and illustrator. After graduating from Architecture at Sydney University, Antonia relocated to Paris, where she lived for 8 years. Parallel to her work as an architect, Antonia spent her time exploring and documenting Paris through drawing, developing a passion for illustration and picture books. Today she combines co-directing the award-winning design partnership MAKE Creative with illustrating/designing and making beautiful books, exploring all formats from experimental zines through to picture books. Her bestselling book collaborations with playwright Hilary Bell, Alphabetical Sydney and Numerical Street have been shortlisted for many awards, including the ABIA Awards, the Independent Booksellers Award, and CBCA Notables. Look Up combines her passion for architecture and illustration in an imaginative and playful journey through 18 of her favourite buildings.
