I am an illustration major who enjoys creating decorative illustrations, patterns, posters, whimsical visuals, etc. My work is inspired by organic shapes, florals, retro motifs, and the nature around us. Colour also has a big presence in my work, often bright and vivid. I use both traditional and digital art methods as I like to combine them. I hope to create lively illustrations that can enhance any space they reside!
