Hey, I'm Annabelle! I'm a Savannah-based illustrator and visual storyteller currently completing my BFA in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design (SCAD), graduating in 2026 with a focus on publication and animation. My work features vibrant characters, expressive storytelling, and playful environments designed to engage young readers and families. I have experience leading collaborative creative projects from concept through final production, including directing a five-person illustration team for the Busy Bees deck of cards project and serving as Creative Director for a FIFA World Cup 2026 x Atlanta Airport mural concept. I specialize in visual storytelling, character-driven illustration, and creating cohesive artwork across multi-page projects. I work primarily in Adobe Creative Suite and digital illustration tools, delivering high-quality, print-ready artwork while maintaining clear communication and reliable project timelines. I’m passionate about creating illustrations that celebrate culture, storytelling, and shared experiences across generations.
