What I'm looking for

I seek creative roles where I can lead visual storytelling and brand identity work, collaborate cross-functionally, and grow into senior art or design leadership.

I am a digital illustrator and branding specialist with experience producing illustrations, concept and character design, comics, and marketing materials for global clients and agencies.

Since 2020 I have completed 150+ commissioned illustrations as a freelancer and have contributed to agency projects as a Junior Associate in branding and illustrations, delivering book covers, children’s book art, editorial pieces, and campaign assets.

I combine creative craft with marketing sensibility — leading concept development, storyboarding, visual identity design, and social media content that aligns with brand messaging and campaign goals. At university I led award-winning brand projects, including a simulated launch that earned “Best Brand Identity.”

I bring strong attention to detail, collaboration skills, and practical HR and presentation experience from internships, and I am eager to apply my visual storytelling and brand-building strengths to roles that value creativity and strategic impact.
