About

Senior 2D Illustrator and Character Designer with 5+ years of experience creating children’s book illustrations, editorial artwork, and game-ready character assets. I handle everything from storyboarding and character/environment kits to final vectorization with strong attention to brand alignment and production quality.

I’ve delivered high-volume creative assets for clients including IBM via NIIT, KIMP, and BookChor.com—managing the full lifecycle of concept to client-ready outputs. My toolkit includes Adobe Illustrator, CorelDRAW, and AI-assisted tools like Leonardo.ai, along with vector and digital asset library/version control for smooth team workflows.
