A glimpse into my creative world—where ideas take shape, stories unfold, and passion meets purpose
Architecture
With a foundation in architectural design and technical drawing, I visualize buildings from plan to atmosphere. My training allows me to interpret documents, imagine spatial experiences, and translate those visions into expressive illustrations. Years of practice—and teaching this process to architecture students—have refined my ability to convey both structure and emotion on paper. Whether for professional design presentations, educational content, or conceptual storytelling, my illustrations adapt to the needs of each project—bridging the technical and the poetic.

Illustrations
My journey into digital illustration began after university, sparked by a deep interest in visual storytelling. I taught myself Adobe Illustrator from a book—drawn to its potential for shaping ideas in vector form. Starting with personal pieces, I soon joined a web agency where I created everything from icons and sliders to full-page visuals. Years of freelance practice have helped me adapt style and concept across platforms and audiences. Each illustration reflects curiosity, experimentation, and a growing mastery of digital tools—designed to communicate clearly and serve both functional and creative goals.
Drawing
Drawing has been part of my life since childhood—beginning with a desire to capture the world exactly as it appeared. I started with pencil, refining my technique over years of practice. Introducing color was a personal challenge, but I gradually embraced it, exploring mediums like colored pencil, oil, watercolor, acrylic, and finally marker—ideal for fast, expressive sketching. Through this journey, I moved beyond realism, experimenting with form, texture, and emotion. Each piece reflects my evolving relationship with drawing: from precision to personal expression. What you see here is a glimpse into that ongoing exploration.

Logo Design
My interest in logo design grew naturally from my passion for illustration. I’ve always been drawn to symbols—how they carry meaning, how they can be combined, and how typography can elevate their voice. This curiosity led me to study logo design more deeply, taking a dedicated course to explore its principles and possibilities. To me, logo design and illustration share the same soul: both aim to distill complex ideas into clear, memorable visuals. In styles like mascot or emblem design, illustration skills are essential—not just for aesthetics, but for storytelling. I enjoy blending visual symbols with type, crafting logos that feel intentional, expressive, and aligned with a brand’s identity.
