I’m a creative and motivated designer with a background in illustration and graphic design. My work explores people, places, and culture through bold visuals and layered storytelling. I enjoy working on both digital and traditional projects and have a sharp eye for detail, colour, and typography. I’ve recently completed a university course combining illustration and graphic design, where I gained strong skills in visual storytelling, branding, and layout. I’m confident in Adobe Creative Suite and enjoy solving problems through design while bringing ideas to life in clear and engaging ways.
