I have worked with clients such as Chanel and Disney, and have a strong skill set in both print and digital design. With a background studying Illustration, as well as experience in Photography and Fine Art, I am passionate about what I do, and enjoy using my knowledge and creativity in all fields of design to set myself apart from other designers.
