I am a fine artist and illustrator who began drawing at a very young age and have diversified my training across drawing, painting, digital illustration, advertising, and graphic design. Over the years I have collaborated with design studios and advertising agencies, building a practice that blends visual storytelling with strong craft in print and digital media. My approach centers on narrative clarity, craftsmanship, and a collaborative mindset. I have taught drawing at the postgraduate level, led art direction in studios, and created visual identities for brands, campaigns, and publications. I remain passionate about exploring new media and techniques while honoring traditional drawing and composition.
