I am a freelance illustrator and graphic designer, working independently full-time for the past two years. Before becoming a full-time freelancer, I spent two years working as a graphic designer in a communication agency that also operated its own printing facilities. This experience gave me a strong understanding of the entire print production process, from preparing artwork for print to physically printing, binding, and finishing books and other printed materials. My main focus is children’s illustration, but my work extends far beyond children’s publishing. I have created complete comic books, illustrations for novels—including interior illustrations, chapter artwork, and book covers—as well as artwork for posters, prints, stickers, T-shirts, and other forms of visual communication. I have also designed covers for music singles and albums, and I have experience designing and laying out entire books. I have developed my own artistic style, and I especially enjoy working with clients who connect with and choose me for my personal visual approach. At the same time, I am highly adaptable and comfortable working across a wide range of styles, from realistic and semi-realistic to stylized and cartoon. I work with both traditional and digital media, including gouache, acrylic, watercolor, colored pencils, markers, and digital painting. As both an illustrator and graphic designer, I enjoy combining creativity with a strong understanding of the practical and technical aspects of visual communication and print production. I am passionate, curious, and constantly exploring new creative disciplines. Outside of my professional practice, I enjoy sewing, music, knitting, and many other creative activities. I chose to dedicate myself fully to a career in the creative field because creating is not simply my profession—it is my passion and a fundamental part of who I am.…
