I am a self-taught illustrator who is passionate about art, music, fashion and concept design such as character design. I am detail oriented, observant, hardworking and extremely creative. I am very optimistic and great at problem solving. When it comes to compromising or just working with what I got, I make the most of whatever I work on. I create a lot of ink illustrations, often using a ballpoint pen, and I enjoy experimenting with media like watercolour, ink, alcohol markers, and acrylics. I love making collages and mood boards, and fashion is a constant source of inspiration for my work.
