With a professional background in learning design and education, I bring experience in visual communication, creative problem-solving and working collaboratively with clients to deliver thoughtful, engaging designs.

I’m passionate about creating artwork that feels personal, distinctive and meaningful, and I enjoy exploring different creative styles to suit each project’s vision.

I’m available for freelance illustration, graphic design projects, bespoke commissions, live event illustration and creative collaborations.
