I am a creative illustrator with a penchant for magical realism, dark fantasy and folk horror!. I work in a few different styles primarily in Procreate, and across many genres-from childrens books to horror and realism to vector. I currently have clients ranging from corporate to clothing companies to independent writers. I am just as comfortable sketching a nature scene as I am designing a logo or a label. I believe my versatility keeps me on my toes and offers constant challenges, which is good!. I have self published a children's book in collaboration with a writer and this experience was invaluable Having acquired the knowledge firsthand of all that goes into such a project, which included conceptualising/story boarding/sketching/illustrating/design layout/animation/video content and animation for marketing and more..... I know passion and discipline are my forte.
I plan to keep scratching the side project itch with my own books up my sleeves, which I blog about on my website. The process of making art for print is still such a thrill, flicking through that book in it's finished form will never lose its novelty. For me, although I am comfortable working on all sorts, and I do..... I am most happy when immersed in new illustrative book worlds and would like to focus on these opportunities as much as possible. I would love to work on some innovative and creative projects and hopefully form some great working relationships along the way.
