I'm a passionate illustrator evolving in this craft for 25 years — still pushing boundaries, still learning, still hungry, creating memorable characters for books, posters, logos and prints. I specialize in Japanese folklore and cyberpunk styles, bringing stories to life through vibrant and expressive designs complemented by a good knowledge of colour theory. I work remotely, collaborating seamlessly with clients worldwide using tools like Adobe, Procreate, and Affinity Designer. I've designed characters for children’s books, apparel company tshirts, and created artworks in Japanese and cyberpunk styles, as well as food and beverage illustrations and coloring books for all ages. Street photography is also is my blood. I capture the fleeting moments where everyone is just to caught up in their phones not wanting to look at life and nature itself. There are so many beautiful moments to stop and smell the roses.
