I've earned a Bachelor of Creative Arts (VEED) in 2024 from Flinders University/CDW Studios and completed Honours in VEED in 2025. I specialise in 2D digital art fundamentals with a main focus on concept art and a passion for character design, supported by a solid grounding in colour theory, shape design, and purposeful critique to ensure the best outcomes. I’m actively seeking employment, open to local or remote work, freelance commissions, or larger studio arrangements, and I’m flexible and eager to explore opportunities. I’m highly creative in concepting, capable of generating many sketches and thumbnails to refine ideas, with experience across cartoons and semi-realism. I back my work with research for context and reference, prioritise the goal’s function and aesthetics, and I’m comfortable working predominantly via email due to a hearing disability. I learn visually, work well in practical settings, and am ready to adapt and grow with new challenges.
