I am a designer, visual storyteller and theatre lover with a background in architecture and a strong interest in communicating ideas through visual forms. I develop concepts through sketching, collage, illustration, and 2D and 3D modelling, creating engaging work that connects people with information, stories and memories. My experience spans digital product design, graphic design, cultural branding, poster and pamphlet design, architectural visualisation, and theatre costume support. I enjoy collaborating with clients, production teams, contractors and suppliers, and I am especially interested in illustration, cultural event promotion, book design, animation and visual storytelling.
