I am a professional illustrator with experience in magazine and publishing projects. My work is child-friendly, colourful and clear, with a flat visual style, and is informed by an interest in childhood and its connection to community. I am keen to continue developing my practice in publishing and graphic design related projects, particularly within editorial and educational contexts. I enjoy collaborating with editors and designers to translate research into accessible visuals, and I thrive in editorial, educational, and publishing settings where storytelling and visual communication intersect.
