About
I’m an illustrator, artist, and textile designer who blends traditional creativity with digital craft to create compelling visuals for clients and products. I work across digital and traditional illustration, surface pattern design, fashion illustration, and apparel concepts—often translating sketches into polished designs using tools like Adobe Illustrator, Procreate, and Photoshop.
I’ve also enjoyed professional collaboration and leadership through roles in design development, freelance projects, and creative workshops. Currently, I’m writing and illustrating an original children’s book while continuing to license artwork for apparel applications and sharing my skills through events and mentorship.
