About me

Hello!

I have a particular interest in creative and illustrative work suited to tweens | middle school children and young adults. I work in pencil, coloured pencil, ink, watercolour, pens and mixed media to create traditional or analogue illustrations and portraits. I also enjoy a variety of grounds, including paper I treat.

I have a mixed background as an occupational therapy student, fashion designer, illustrator and portraitist.

My skills set includes: illustration, Photoshop, trend forecasting, art direction, fashion design, procurement, range development, sketching, graphic design, retail management, staff hiring, brand development and marketing, product photography, styling and merchandising.

Experience: Co-founding a fashion label, Showcasing at SA Fashion Week, collaborating internationally, designing and launching a concept store, working in Asia, working with clients in Germany, working as an art director on a SAMA-winning Global Chart DVD.

I prefer studiogigs at the moment.

Thanks for reading!
