About me

I'm an illustrator specialising in character-focused digital artwork, with a strong emphasis on mood, lighting, and visual storytelling. My work explores expressive portraits and stylised figures, aiming to capture personality and atmosphere in a way that feels both cinematic and intimate.

I'm particularly interested in projects that involve character development and world-building—whether that's for games, editorial, or personal narratives. I enjoy pushing visual tone and experimenting with colour and composition to create pieces that feel immersive and emotionally grounded.

My process is driven by observation and iteration, balancing technical precision with a more intuitive, painterly approach. I'm always looking to refine my style while keeping the storytelling at the centre of the work.

Currently open to freelance and collaborative opportunities.
