I am a multidisciplinary illustrator and graphic designer with a background in digital animation, motion graphics, and 2D illustration. I studied Digital Animation, where I developed a strong foundation in visual storytelling, composition, colour theory, and design principles, skills I now apply across commercial and freelance projects. I have worked on brand campaigns, social media content, and visual assets across agency and freelance environments, creating illustrations, key visuals, storyboards, and motion graphics for marketing and promotional use. I enjoy translating ideas into clear, engaging visuals that communicate effectively and connect with audiences. Alongside my design work, I have experience teaching art to children aged 4–12, which has strengthened my ability to communicate creatively and adapt my visual approach for different audiences. I am comfortable working independently or collaboratively, and I manage multiple projects with attention to detail and a strong sense of deadlines. I am currently open to freelance opportunities in illustration, graphic design, and motion graphics, and I enjoy collaborating with clients who value thoughtful, visually engaging design.
