Hi, I'm Tacy. I have a diverse background ranging from body piercing and retail to teaching and managing. I love working with people, whether it’s educating students in the lab or engaging with customers in a busy retail environment. Over the years, I’ve developed a strong sense of organization, leadership, and creativity through my various roles and extracurricular activities. Outside of work, I’m deeply involved in musical theatre and marching, which have really honed my teamwork and leadership skills. I’ve directed shows, choreographed performances, and enjoyed the thrill of competition with my marching team. I’m passionate about learning and plan to further my education by pursuing a Masters in the future. My freelance illustration work includes various projects for local bands (gig posters), childrens plate designs, and musical theatre marketing design (MUSOC). My work can be found over at @tacyeylesart on instagram. I have a main focus on cartoon work, use of bright colours and minimal shading :)
