CREATIVE STATEMENT
My interest in illustration began during my childhood when I would spend hours sketching and painting. Over the years, my expertise in creating intricate watercolor designs has developed due to continuous practice and dedication to learning new techniques. With a decade of experience working for gifts and paper products, I have honed my skills in designing for various products and mediums. My graphic design background has provided me with a strong foundation in visual communication and design principles. As an illustrator who specializes in surface pattern design, I nurture this focus by constantly exploring new patterns and drawing inspiration from nature. What I love most about surface pattern design is its ability to transform ordinary objects into captivating pieces of art.
To create a successful surface pattern illustration, I believe it's important to balance creativity with functionality. For me, the two most important qualities of a successful surface pattern illustration are originality and cohesiveness. To maintain my skillset, I regularly engage in workshops, collaborate with other artists, and stay updated with the latest trends in design.
