I am an aspiring illustrator that will be graduating from Kendall College of Art and Design in December with a bachelors in Life Sciences and Pre-Medical Illustration. I have a strong passion for creating visually captivating illustrations that educate and convey emotions. As an illustrator, I am constantly exploring new techniques and styles to push the boundaries of my work. I am dedicated to honing my craft and continually expanding my artistic abilities. I believe that illustrations have the power to communicate messages in unique and compelling ways, and I am committed to creating artwork that resonates with viewers on a deep level.
I am highly collaborative and enjoy working with clients to understand their specific needs and goals. I believe that effective communication is key to delivering illustrations that exceed expectations.
