As a multidisciplinary illustrator, fine artist, and illustrative designer with a decade of professional experience, I create expressive work that focuses on combined themes of everyday magic and adventure, expression and culture, and morality and spirituality. I characterize these themes through the use of dynamic composition and vibrant color, as well as bold shape, texture, and design, in order to craft and adapt characters that tell unique stories. By utilizing new and adapted characters to evoke adventure and emotion in my visual narratives, I encourage my audience to dive into other worlds, not to escape reality, but to inspire them to seek the realities around us, within us, and those they have yet to experience.
