About

I am a freelance illustrator and recent graduate of Emily Carr University of Art + Design. Working both digitally and traditionally, I tend to focus on symbolism, creating colorful and surreal compositions that play with scale and challenge socio-political narratives. I have also worked on a few animated and live action short films.

I enjoy offering creative direction and collaborating with authors and clients to create engaging digital graphics and illustrative content. I am passionate about exploring innovative visual storytelling through my art and design work.
