I am an art director, illustrator, and visual storyteller with over 20 years of international experience. My background in design enables me to translate a brand's vision into illustrations that are both aesthetically distinctive and strategically aligned with the brief. Whether working in vibrant colour or monochrome, I focus on storytelling through composition, character, and atmosphere. Each project is rooted in careful research, allowing me to create visuals that authentically express the DNA and values of a brand.
