    Illustrations

    I create illustrations in diverse styles and techniques, ranging from digital paintings to vector infographics and expressive acrylic works.


    Aiducation Animation

    I had the pleasure of creating an introduction video for Aiducation International — a for-impact organization that awards high school scholarships to bright and motivated young people in developing countries, empowering them to drive positive change in their communities and beyond.

    From the initial concept and storyboard through the animation process to the final editing, I was responsible for the full production cycle. It was a meaningful project that aligns with my values and allowed me to contribute to a powerful mission through storytelling and visual design.
