Overview

I received my Bachelors of Fine Arts with a major in Illustration from Emily Carr University of Art & Design in 2017. This degree provided a solid foundation in visual storytelling, composition, and creative problem solving. I built a strong and widely varied skill set in my time here, helping me to become a much more well-rounded illustrator and designer.

Areas of study included Illustration, Anatomy, Design, Printmaking, Colour Theory, Cultural Theory and History.

Thank you for your time!
