I am a designer and illustrator with a passion for storytelling. My background spans illustration, publication, print, and experience / exhibition design. I am keen to develop other areas in design such as branding, UI/UX and packaging. My work blends analog and digital techniques, drawing inspiration from nature and my travel experiences. Embracing my emotions and life’s challenges enriches my creative process, allowing me to connect with diverse people and cultures. I’m driven by the power of design to create immersive experiences that evoke joy and wonder. When I’m not designing, I like sightseeing and visiting new places to eat.
