I’m a digital 2D artist with over 3 years of freelance experience, specializing in book illustration, comic art, and concept design. I love creating emotional and atmospheric visuals that explore themes like identity, transformation, and the surreal, often within fantasy, gothic, sci-fi, and horror genres. My background in emergency care has really helped me bring anatomical accuracy and a deeper understanding of human emotions to my work. Alongside my freelance art career, I have experience working as an Emergency Medical Technician, which has sharpened my skills in teamwork and managing high-pressure situations. I’ve built a strong online presence with over 200,000 followers across platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and X, and I’m always open to remote or freelance opportunities in publishing, games, and other visual media.
