Our story
Founded in 2024 by illustrator Anto Fant and her husband, Mateo Barrios, Pufli is the result of Anto’s highly rewarding experience working with independent authors around the world.
By combining their skills, they are in a unique position to become the creative partner of choice for children’s book authors looking for high-quality and support.
Anto has worked as a freelance children's book illustrator for over 10 years, developing her unique signature style. She also holds a bachelor's degree in Graphic Design from an Argentine University. As our Creative Director, she manages our creative process, quality standards and artists.
They are also huge fans of Disney World! ✨
Mateo is a business lawyer since 2018 in Argentina, with vast experience working as a Project Manager for Fortune 500 clients. As our Managing Director, he takes care of daily operations, partnerships, and communications.
Independent doesn't mean alone.
We are dedicated to indie authors. Why?
Long story short, they're our favorite people. What started as freelance illustration work back in 2013 gradually evolved into many rewarding, long-term relationships.
We want to prove that creating a high-quality picture book doesn't require you to be an expert or have a huge budget. You're already capable, and with a bit of guidance, you can bring your story to life.
