I’ve spent the last ten years working in marketing and advertising, managing brand identity and visual communication. But in that time, I’ve realized that what really drives me is illustration, and creating artworks. Graphic design and illustration are accompanying me through my whole career, from music band posters to concept art for video games. When Covid happened and affected my life plans to extreme level I decided to focus on being self-emplayed illustrator.
