CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in editorial illustration comes from curiosity. I love being given a prompt, doing a bit of research and learning about a new topic. Having worked full time in advertising and communication, I have a strong muscle finding ways to creatively illustrate a complex topic. Over the years, I have created multiple illustrated infographics, educational material and recently have started working on editorial projects, from an illustrated book (The Lucky Grapes by Tracey Kyle), to illustrating reports and material (Laaha, by Unicef). I take pride on having a strong work ethic, communicating with my client and delivering beautiful artwork in a timely manner. I know editorial projects can have time constraints!
