Illustration

From the first sketch
to the final piece

Characters, everyday scenes and editorial pieces drawn with a bittersweet touch — made to give a brand its own personality. From quick doodles to finished artwork ready to print or animate.

A designer’s eye has always been a place for curiosity and distinctive expression — a space where ideas, colour and a little mischief come together to make things people remember.

Im a graphic designer & illustrator with a bittersweet touch, crafting identities, books and illustrations where elegance meets a hint of mischief — turning ideas into visuals that stick in your mind.

From branding for start-ups to editorial projects like Myosotis — my final degree book about family, memory and Alzheimer’s — every project starts with a sketch and a story.

I’ve worked with brands like Kuori, Absolut, Fotoprix and Coca-Cola, and I’m always open to new collaborations, commissions and curious ideas.
