I'm a freelance Children's Book Illustrator and Botanical Illustrator with an MA (Master of Arts) in Landscape Design and Architecture. With over 10 years of experience in the field, I have a strong background in visual storytelling, botanical illustration, landscape illustration and character design.
I'm an expert of such design tools as Adobe Photoshop, InDesign and traditional drawing and painting techniques (pencil, pen, ink, watercolor, oil, acrylic, mixed media). This allows me to create illustrations that are versatile and unique, tailored to your specific needs and preferences.
I specialize in illustrating for picture books, fairy tales, book covers and I draw inspiration from nature, children, dreams, travel, magic, and kindness.
My working process typically involves discussing your ideas and details first. Following that, I develop characters in black and white, allowing for easy adjustments if necessary. Next, we move on to storyboarding, and once you approve the layout, I proceed with creating the final colored illustrations. Additionally, I can handle the book design for you, eliminating the need to hire a separate book designer.
Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions. I would be happy to answer them and discuss how we can bring your project to life. Thank you for your interest in my work!
