About me

I am an enthusiastic, creative and diligent illustration graduate from AUB looking for opportunities in branding and graphic design. My main focus is on digital illustrations where I utilize programmes such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign, taking insipration from nature and current events. I use these illustrations to create wordless narratives that engage the viewer and I aim to pursue these themes through a career in design. Fiction is a common theme in my practice as I enjoy the challenge of making my illustrations relatable to an audience and creating a connection. However, I love getting involved in other areas of design such as editorial work and branding as I am always looking for ways to broaden my visual language and apply my work to other contexts.

Education

BA (hons) IllustrationArts University Bournemouth
Sep 2017Bournemouth, United Kingdom
During my degree, I developed my practice throughout the duration of the course and progressed my work digitally using Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator and InDesign. I was also pushed to experiment and step out of my comfort zone when learning animation and risoprinting as well as being precise when binding my finished books. I worked with fellow students to generate ideas for group illustration projects and as a result, meant it was necessary that I presented my ideas within the group.
