I’m a professional illustrator with a deep love for visual storytelling, especially the kind that tugs at your heart or sparks your imagination. My work blends expressive characters, rich textures, and a sense of wonder to create artwork that feels warm, inviting, and just a little bit enchanted.

I specialize in children’s book illustration, surface pattern design, and digital painting. Whether I’m creating whimsical scenes or designing thoughtful motifs, I focus on art that connects, pieces that carry feeling, charm, and character. My illustrations are full of emotion, often capturing big feelings in small moments, with personalities that practically speak from the page.

I work across traditional and digital media, layering lighting, mood, and story-driven details that invite a closer look. I’ve partnered with authors, and creative fashion teams to help bring unique visions into focus, from joyful narratives to playful, heartfelt concepts that leave a lasting impression.

I'm also a Top Rated freelancer on Upwork, where I’ve had the opportunity to work with wonderful clients around the world. If you’re looking for an illustrator who can bring warmth, personality, and a touch of magic to your project, you’re in the right place.

When I’m not drawing, you’ll likely find me sipping coffee and wandering the garden with my dog (who’s absolutely convinced she’s the one with the creative vision). Those quiet moments often inspire the spirit behind my work.

I'm always open to new collaborations and meaningful projects. If you have a story, product, or idea that needs an artistic spark, I’d love to hear about it. Let’s make something that feels like it came straight from the heart.
