About me
I am an illustrator passionate about making beautiful images and logos which help businesses grow and inspire an audience to take a closer look. Colour and natural forms influence me, creating pieces with those details that make the viewer take that important second glance. I've had the pleasure of collaborating with events organisers, animators, videographers and fellow artists to create weird and wonderful things.
Projects
  • CSRI Assurance in Sustainability Reports
    CSRI Assurance in Sustainability Reports‘Assurance in Sustainability Reports’ is a short animation explaining the benefit of seeking Assurance in sustainability reports for businesses worldwide. Working together with CSRI consulting, we devised a script and draft storyboard to begin the process of turning assurance into easily digestible content for social platforms.
  • Veganuary Social Marketing Illustrations
    Veganuary Social Marketing IllustrationsAs part of the creative studio YAYA, we decided to launch a social media animation campaign to help Veganuary take more pledges for January 2019. As the illustrator, I designed a set of fun and attention-grabbing characters. After researching the main 'food' animals and their anatomy, I sketched out six cute characters and used illustrator to create vector-based images ready for animation rigging. Collaborating closely with the animator gave good experience into character design for animations.
