Overview
I'm a children's book illustrator with a passion for bringing amazing stories to life in a style that is fresh and colorful. I started working as a designer and illustrator since 2015 and 3 years ago started illustrating kids and young adult books.
My role as an illustrator includes everything from storyboards of the book, character design, selection of colors to background design. It is important for me to establish a transparent and eloquent communication stream with the client from the first sketches to the final art.
Please feel free to write if you have any questions.

Mark was a pleasure to work with. He created a sample illustration based on my story and communicated in a timely manner. I did not end up choosing Mark to illustrate my story but had a good experience working with him.
