About

Portfolio Website: naemalafzal.format.com

I’m a detail-driven illustrator with experience spanning customer-focused roles, nail art, and professional digital illustration. I enjoy collaborating closely with clients and teams to turn feedback and specifications into polished visuals, whether it’s custom press-on nail designs, vibrant artwork for events, or creative content for children’s stories.

I’ve worked across freelancing and contract illustration, including storybook illustrations, map-style digital illustration for events, self-initiated portrait and logo projects, and ongoing work in illustration and design tools like Procreate, Adobe Illustrator, and Photoshop. I bring strong communication, adaptability, and reliability to every project, ensuring the final artwork matches the intent and engages the audience.
