Mónica Muñoz is a Madrid-based surface pattern designer and illustrator operating under the Moniquilla studio. Originally from Salamanca, she holds a Fine Arts degree from the Universidad de Salamanca. Her practice spans fashion, editorial, food and beverage, ceramic, and packaging applications across national and international markets. She has over 131,000 Instagram followers and holds a verified account - one of the more prominent Spanish pattern designers on the platform.
Muñoz's work draws on watercolour, markers, and wax crayons, giving her patterns a warm, expressive hand-crafted quality. Selected Instagram pattern images suggest a colourful, illustrative vocabulary - florals, decorative motifs, and figure-informed surface work applied to all-over print formats. Her palette tends warm and vivid. The visual language is personal and playful while remaining commercially applicable to fashion and kidswear.

She teaches illustration and pattern design at the Instituto Europeo del Diseño (IED) Madrid and at the Universidad de Salamanca, indicating a formal understanding of both studio practice and industry-facing methodology.
