About

I am a visual arts lecturer, illustrator, and graphic designer passionate about creating meaningful designs that leave a lasting impact. With 13 years of experience, I enjoy creative provocations and have worked with clients across various industries, from food production to journalism. I love combining artistic skills with research and teaching, and I thrive on collaborating within creative teams.

I have completed my PhD in Visual Arts, focusing on the artistic challenges of graphic novels, and I enjoy sharing my insights with students as a lecturer. My work spans book covers, illustrations, banners, web graphics, packaging design, and much more, and I’ve been fortunate to participate in many exhibitions showcasing my art.
