CREATIVE STATEMENT


I really enjoy the process of creating an editorial illustration. It's exciting to dive into a new topic, do some research, brainstorm ideas, and finally develop a visual concept that illuminates the crucial part of the writing in both a resonating and unexpected way. Due to my graphic design background, I always pay special attention to composition and use a carefully selected limited color palette in my illustrations. I especially like designing small spot illustrations that work together with the main one and add an extra layer of liveliness and playfulness to the piece.
