I’m proficient in Adobe Illustrator, Photoshop, and After Effects, and I’ve delivered character animations, brand graphics, and motion graphics for books, magazines, and digital platforms. I’m driven by a love of creativity paired with technical skill, always staying up-to-date with trends to keep my work fresh. I aim to craft visuals that inform, entertain, and inspire, whether I’m collaborating on a publishing project, a marketing campaign, or educational content.
