I am a color-loving illustrator who never tires of learning and creating. I use both traditional and digital illustration techniques, and even a mixture of the two, to create unique matte artwork. Having studied anthropology and fashion design, I have a particular fascination with everyday life and culture, and love using this as inspiration in my work. I will finish my Masters in Fine Arts in Illustration at the Savannah College of Art and Design this Spring, and look forward to growing my freelance illustration portfolio!

    uniE621 Bella Ramsey Portrait - Editorial Illustration
    For an MFA class assignment, I chose to create an illustration based off of an article that discussed Bella Ramsey's previous role in Game of Thrones, as well as their role in, at the time, the upcoming series The Last of Us. I used a mixed media approach with traditional gouache paint and digital techniques. illustrator editorialillustration editorial portrait portraitillustration fashionillustration
    uniE621 Anthropologie Home Decor - Hypothetical Advertising Illustration
    As part of an MFA class assignment, I decided to create a hypothetical advertisement for Anthropologie's home decor line. I chose various Anthropologie home decor items currently on sale at their store that I thought belonged together to make a cohesive mixed media illustration. Using gouache paint and some digital finishing techniques allowed me to create a soft look, fitting with the brand.
