What I'm looking for

I’m looking to design high-detail 2D characters, concepts, and comic visuals from script to final art—collaborating closely with writers and teams, handling revisions quickly, and delivering polished, story-consistent results.

I’m an adept 2D and Concept Designer with a proven track record at Black Reverie, blending artistic skill and digital rendering to bring visionary characters and concepts to life. I Excelled in creating over 100 realistic characters, enhancing story progression through detailed design.

I’ve built my process around script interpretation and collaboration: I work alongside scriptwriters and teams to interpret scenes, brainstorm corrections, and protect story consistency. At Black Reverie, I developed art and design concepts, produced sketches and drafts to refine artwork, and created over 1000 unique NFT characters inspired by African cultures—along with unique African attires for those characters.

As a Comic Book Illustrator, I create sketches and concepts for scenes and then deliver well colored and structured comic moments. I create unique character design sheets for seamless story integration, hold frequent team meetings on delivery, and work closely “hand in hand” with the scriptwriter to support creative storytelling for each scene.

Freelance, I’ve continued developing strong visual-to-written translation through Storyboard work and Concept Design. I review project requirements to plan workflows, create marketing materials and product designs to brand standards, develop prototypes for testing and presentation, and produce sketched and technical drawings to communicate concepts clearly to clients.
