I create graphic design, illustrations and customizable templates for global creative platforms.

I create scalable vector illustrations, customizable digital templates, and visual narratives for global creative platforms, B2B clients, and NGOs.

At Canva, I publish vector components for a global library used by millions to build marketing campaigns. I also create customizable templates for Vecteezy, Kittl, and Freepik, meeting demanding technical, QA, and editing requirements.

Through Revoltan Studios, I've partnered with international organizations on marketing infographics, event site maps, and public reform storyboards. At Andelo, I produced educational infographics and public-health collateral for Australian NGOs including RSPCA, SLHD, and TAC.

With 15+ years in graphic design and illustration, I combine minimalist flat-vector design, typography, branding, and AI-assisted workflows to turn complex information into clear visual communication.
