I'm a concept-driven Art Director and Illustrator with experience crafting 360 advertising campaigns, branding, and digital content for lifestyle, tech and consumer sectors. I lead projects from pitch to production with strategic thinking, bold ideas, and hands-on execution. I blend visual storytelling with brand clarity to deliver standout work across touchpoints. My illustrative style is playful and colourful. In particular, I love to draw flowers and stylised characters when I am drawing for myself. However, I am capable of adapting my style to the project at hand, working alongside my clients to find the style that would best suit their needs.
