About me
I am an illustrator and designer specialising in content for younger audiences. I believe visuality is an important language, especially for children, as it helps develop emotional intelligence. Education thus interests me and the way illustration can be used to inform, entertain and engage the viewer through storytelling. I am passionate about design and enjoy the process of producing work from idea generation, to experimentation, through to the final outcome.
