Hi! I'm Haley. I'm a character designer and illustrator. My work is driven by my love and passion for character design, shape language, and engaging storytelling. I’m often exploring the idea of magic blending with the mundane in a playful and energetic way. I’m also hugely obsessed with and inspired by all things spooky and magical, including cryptozoology, witches, and other oddities that tend to sneak their way into my illustrations.
