What I'm looking for

I am looking for a creative role that fosters collaboration and innovation.

As a passionate freelance illustrator and graphic designer, I have spent several years honing my skills in creating compelling visuals for both print and digital media. My work has allowed me to collaborate with renowned brands such as Mattel and Hasbro, where I delivered artwork that resonates with audiences and aligns with brand identities. My expertise spans various styles, including editorial, advertising, and pattern design, ensuring that I can meet diverse client needs.

In addition to my illustration work, I co-host the FaeTéxni podcast, where we delve into the creative industry, discussing freelancing, design, and illustration. This role has enhanced my communication skills and allowed me to engage with fellow creatives, sharing insights and experiences that inspire and inform. I am dedicated to continuous learning and growth in my field, always seeking new challenges and opportunities to expand my creative horizons.
