Hello! I'm a Melbourne-based artist and current 2D Animation student at Collarts, passionate about creating engaging visuals that support storytelling and bring ideas to life. I'm seeking freelance opportunities to expand my industry experience, collaborate with creative teams, and contribute meaningful artwork to a wide range of projects. My personal style is vibrant, colourful, and stylised, with a strong focus on mood and visual appeal. However, I'm adaptable and comfortable (/eager) working within established briefs, styles, and project requirements. I enjoy problem-solving through art and am always willing to push myself creatively to achieve the best outcome for a client. Through my studies, I've developed skills in illustration, character design, storyboarding, and animation, alongside pre-production abilities such as concept development, mood boarding, and visual planning. I pride myself on being organised, open to feedback, and committed to delivering work that aligns with a project's goals. Whether you're looking for illustrations, character artwork, concept development, or visual support for a creative project, I'd love to help bring your ideas to life.
