Personal Profile
I'm an Illustrator and graphic designer with 5 years of professional experience. My portfolio presents diverse projects, from the creation self published comics, to children's books illustrations. Having a traditional art education, I can create work in different styles and aesthetics, adjusting to what the project requires most, but my signature style is colourfull and cartoony. Due to my interdisciplinary practice, I can carry projects from formulating an idea all the way to publishing and print preparation.
