Illustration 2021
I am an aspiring editorial illustrator, creating digital work for both in print and on-screen. I aim to make thought-provoking work that communicates ideas efficiently and imaginatively. I enjoy visual problem solving and ideas generation, often using visual metaphors to respond to briefs or articles creatively. My aim as an illustrator is to make work that is approachable and accessible to people in their everyday lives, using visual communication to educate and inform. Throughout my degree, I have developed into a motivated, hard-working, passionate illustrator with a consistent visual language and strong ideas behind my work, consolidated by my love for research. I excel in both a teamwork setting and when working independently on briefs and commissions. I push myself to make work on a variety of topics such as social media, mental health, education, business, gender, social justice issues, science and medicine.
