About me

My expertise includes a variety of creative projects such as print media, illustration, graphic design, book design, cover design, infographics, design research, UX/UI, and art direction. I have collaborated with indie publications, game design ventures, and educational content creation. I have also undertaken freelance projects such as commissions, apparel design, and junior art direction roles. I hold an MA in Illustration, specializing in children’s publications, and a BA in Information Design, which has helped me become proficient in industry-standard software such as Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, InDesign, and Procreate. My multifaceted approach to creative projects reflects a dynamic fusion of creativity and strategic thinking. I completed an MA in Children’s Publications. A BA in Information Design has helped me become proficient in various industry-standard software, including Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator, Indesign, and Procreate. When I’m not busy pouring my heart into my projects, you’ll find me shedding a tear (or a few) over cheesy movies and TV shows in a corner, blasting podcasts to drown out my thoughts, or battling a vitamin D deficiency. Beyond personal quirks, my work shows a dynamic fusion of creativity and strategic thinking, showcasing a sincere dedication to working on each project. Collaborating with me ensures a unique blend of passion, precision, and a fresh perspective on creative endeavours.
