I’m a multidisciplinary illustrator and animation artist with a toolkit that stretches across both traditional and digital mediums. My work moves fluidly between editorial illustration, advertising illustration, and narrative illustration, always with the same goal: visuals that grab attention and tell stories that stick. From the softness of watercolour illustration, gouache illustration, and acrylic illustration, to the grit of charcoal illustration, pencil illustration, and pen and ink illustration, I enjoy exploring textures that bring ideas to life. I also love pushing style boundaries with fashion illustration, fantasy illustration, tattoo illustration, collage illustration, and spot illustration, each crafted with clarity and impact in mind. On the animation side, I create everything from 2D animation, 3D animation, and stop motion animation to whiteboard video, corporate video, and product video. Whether it’s traditional workflows like CelAction2D or freehand digital illustration, or cutting-edge tools like AI video, I focus on finding the right medium for the story. I also design for print and digital with advert design, book illustration, children’s book illustration, cartoon, and motion-led campaigns. Every project is approached with the same energy: combining imagination with craft. Tools like Adobe Illustrator and platforms like Nim are part of my daily practice, but what drives the work is the ability to translate an idea into visuals that feel fresh, human, and unforgettable.
