I’m a Melbourne-based illustrator and designer specialising in children’s book illustration and character design. With a Master of Creative Arts and a strong foundation in visual storytelling, I create warm, expressive, and engaging illustrations that connect emotionally with young audiences.
My work focuses on cute, character-driven storytelling, where visuals play a key role in conveying emotion, personality, and narrative. I have experience developing original characters, illustrating story concepts, and exploring themes such as belonging, friendship, and self-acceptance, most notably through my project Aster: The Journey to Luna Lake.
Alongside illustration, I bring industry experience in branding and visual communication across the beauty and hospitality sectors, giving me a strong understanding of composition, colour, and audience engagement. This allows me to create illustrations that are not only visually appealing, but also purposeful and effective in storytelling.
What differentiates me is my ability to combine soft, playful aesthetics with meaningful narratives. I aim to create illustrations that feel comforting, expressive, and memorable, capturing both the imagination of children and the emotional depth that resonates with wider audiences.
I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite and digital illustration workflows, with additional experience in hand-crafted presentation formats that bring stories to life beyond the screen.

Industry Experience
Aster and Friends is a character-driven storytelling project that explores belonging and self-acceptance through cute, emotionally expressive design.
Following Aster, a husky in search of friendship, the narrative unfolds through encounters with other “outsider” characters, ultimately revealing that connection is found, not wished for. The project combines digital illustration with hand-crafted presentation, reflecting my research into how cute aesthetics can be used to create deeper emotional resonance and appeal to broader, gender-inclusive audiences.
