With a background in Fine Arts, hands-on experience in the tech industry, raised among product designers & figma, and collaborations with creative agencies, I have honed my ability to strike balance between creativity and practicality. My personal goal is to improve the digital experience for fellow humans by bringing more beauty and delight in the world via static or lightly animated illustrations and custom icon sets.
I specialise in product & brand illustration, dabbled with advertising, and daydream about making more thought-provoking and captivating images for editorial.
With 6+ years of professional experience in this field, I'm here to hand-hold through the entire process or be embedded into existent teams, startups or enterprise. See me as an illustration “designer” ready to work with any style required.
I'm excited about your project and the prospect of working together.
