Hi, I am a Concept Artist and illustrator, with experience in Graphic Design. My illustrations are both colourful and whimsical. I would love to draw covers and illustrations for your books, cute designs for your merchandise or anything else you are looking for. I have drawn characters and environments for games and would love to do more.

Freelance (2025-05 – Present)

• I used VGen to sell my services as an Illustrator for both commercial and non commercial use. I asked customers what they wanted and what their visions were. We went through revisions together and I delivered their digital products in a timely manner.

Volunteer at Our Cape Town Heritage (2025-05 – 2025-07)

• In this job I was tasked to design brand-related illustrations that spanned over different media platforms and marketing avenues, including physical merchandise that has been sold and is still in production. Along with the customer-facing products I have also worked within a team to analyze internal documentation across different disciplines to create a company prospectus that was presented in funding ventures that up to this date have been successful.

Student Internship at Chocolate Tribe (2025-06 – 2025-07)

• Chocolate Tribe gave me and the other interns a few exercises to gauge my abilities. We drew iterations of original characters/creatures. Next we were given a campaign design project where we designed a creature and three environments. At the end of our internship we had a presentation and I was praised for my environment designs.

Student Internship at Cabblow Studios (2024-05 – 2024-06)

• I was the sole intern that was tasked to use Clip Studio Paint to recreate the company’s main character in sprite form for animation which included all aspects of a full a character render from the ground up which includes the line art, storyboarding, colouring and finally rendering of the character and various frames to produce an animatic for the company to use.
