Work Experience

Freelance Illustrator at Seattle Stories

June 1, 2025 - Present

I'm currently working with a writer at Seattle Stories, a charity organization which has a library of free children’s stories for schools, to create a collection of illustrations for some of their short stories. This requires an ability to work with and communicate clearly and amicably with my client. I’m able to stick to a brief and be flexible with my workflow. I can also receive and act upon feedback given to me as I’m constantly striving to improve.

Magic Elf at Lapland UK

September 1, 2025 - December 1, 2025

During my time at Lapland UK, I worked as one of the performers as a Magic Elf where I greeted, escorted and hosted many families during their visits. I provided excellent customer service while being able to keep a consistent high energy throughout each family’s visit.

Freelance Concept Artist

January 1, 2022 - January 1, 2025

Whilst in university, I collaborated with two writers and some other concept artists in a group project where I designed a few characters for a tabletop social deduction board game. Working in a team was very enriching for my interpersonal skills and I was able to help and guide some of the artists in the group that struggled to adapt to the rubber-hose style we adopted for the project. This particular project was given only three days.
