About
Illustrator with a hand-drawn art foundation and professional experience building emotionally consistent characters from detailed reference documentation (character sheets, art bibles, and scene briefs). I also bring a background in traditional frame-by-frame animation, digital painting, and modular character illustration for interactive products.
I interpret briefs precisely to keep a visual world coherent across many assets—translating art direction into consistent, expressive characters. I’m currently completing an MSc in Game Development (Serious Games and UX) at the University of Skövde, and I enjoy working through structured, feedback-driven revision cycles under clear deadlines.

Work experience
Illustrated a modular character system designed for emotional and visual consistency across many user-generated combinations. Worked within a dynamic colour-shifting rendering pipeline and used internal specifications to maintain cohesive character design across the system.
Specialised as the artist on multiple semester-long GameLab projects, adapting personal style to each new brief, art direction, and narrative tone. Produced illustration alongside supporting animation and rendering coursework, building an adaptable visual toolkit across disciplines.
