Overview
Have 10+ years of experience in illustration working for renowned publishing company Oxford University Press. I excel at taking complex ideas and communicating them with simple visuals. Also have a strong sense for graphic storytelling. Ability to draw anything, but exceptional skill at rendering people and likenesses. Passionate about books and storytelling.
I illustrate digitally and would describe my art style as being simple, striking, and bold. My art is also strongly influenced by the world of comic books.
