About
I’m a concept artist and animation-trained illustrator who loves turning ideas into clear, expressive visuals through character design, visual storytelling, and branded editorial artwork. My background spans high-output animation/VFX pipelines and freelance illustration for publishing and promotional projects, where I translate briefs and feedback into polished, audience-aware art.
I also bring client communication and marketing support experience from freelancing and tutoring—helping shape educational and promotional content that engages people and strengthens brand consistency. From production documentation to creative collaboration, I’m at my best balancing detail, deadlines, and evolving project needs while delivering professional digital assets for print, web, and portfolios.
