About me
Hey all! I'm a freelance illustrator working with digital and traditional media, I love to convey concepts and emotions through bold and bright images and lively boil animations. My work mostly focuses around environmental issues and climate justice. I have experience working in editorial illustration, designing one of a kind items, creating album art and illustrating literary magazines. If you're looking for some quick spot illustrations or some bold animated gifs to liven up your branding, please don't hesitate to drop me an email at zoe.emma95@gmail.com!
